"Independent minister Kevin 'Boxer' Moran has faced accusations from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael councillors, whom he claims are engaging in 'cheap political point-scoring' regarding his stance on an asylum accommodation centre."
"Moran, the Longford-Westmeath TD, retrieved his name from a legal action against the State concerning an asylum accommodation centre. This has sparked criticism and accusations of hypocrisy from local councillors."
Kevin 'Boxer' Moran, an independent minister and Longford-Westmeath TD, has publicly responded to accusations of hypocrisy after withdrawing from a legal challenge against the State regarding an asylum accommodation centre in Athlone. The centre was set to accommodate up to 1,000 asylum-seekers. Moran's withdrawal has led to conflict with local Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael councillors, which he attributes to their tactics of cheap political point-scoring rather than genuine concern for the issue at hand.
