A Facebook page that claims to be Roscommon-linked has been condemned as disgraceful.

A post on the page, which at the time of broadcast has less than 200 ‘likes’, encourages people to ask ‘tough, non-PC questions’ about the number of migrants coming into Europe.

It claims refugees pose enormously high risks and are often responsible for an alleged increase in crimes in communites they move into.

A spokesperson for the Facebook page claims that it was established for the majority of locals who do not want refugees in their area, but are scared to speak out for fear of being classed racist.

Shannonside FM understands that Facebook has been contacted by some locals in Ballaghadereen in an attempt to have the page shut down.

Ballaghaderreen’s community activist Michael Scally says the page is simply disgusting.
