Many Rooskey residents have criticised the anti-racism rally being held at the village on Sunday.

The gathering is taking place after the second suspected arson attack on the Shannon Key West Hotel on Monday night.

It’s due to become an accommodation centre for 80 asylum-seekers.

But many Rooskey residents said on Facebook that they wouldn’t be supporting the rally because the village isn’t racist.

Local councillor Joe Murphy also doesn’t back it.
