FactCheck: Were refugees and asylum seekers segregated by race in a Dublin processing centre?

An activist Twitter account claims an “apartheid system” gives Ukrainians preferential treatment over asylum seekers from other countries.

Wristbands determined access to beds with Ukrainian arrivals given beds while other asylum seekers slept on the floor, the group alleged.

The group, Abolish Direct Provision Campaign, called on Minister Roderic O'Gorman to resign.
