An asylum seeker is criticising the decision to move her and her children around the country during the coronavirus outbreak.

Precious Moyo was moved from hotels in Dublin to Kerry, then to Cork before being returned to Dublin all in the last month.

The mother of two from Zimbabwe says they were placed on crowded buses with others living in direct provision.

Her seven year old daughter tested positive for the virus.

Precious says the experience has been traumatic.

"I'm dealing with my own trauma that I'm coming with from my own country, and now it's another trauma.

"That cannot go away from me, that my daughter caught Covid.

"We're told to hotel with kids, it's so hard and traumatising.

"I don't know why they can't give us family facilities whereby we can take care of kids in the proper way."
