Dozens of asylum seekers in Tralee, Co Kerry, are entering a third day of hunger strike today in protest at their treatment and conditions.
Around 60 residents at Atlas House - a male-only centre for asylum seekers - began the protest on Wednesday to highlight their situation.
They are demanding that officials from the Department of Justice visit them to see the conditions for themselves and have vowed to continue their fast until the request is met.
