Azwar Fuard, 39, fled his native Sri Lanka along with his wife Safra Banu and three-year-old daughter Mariyam because of persecution of the Tamil Muslim minority. He was first accommodated in a former hotel in Dublin and then moved to another direct provision centre which had been established at the Skellig Star Hotel in Cahirsiveen, Co Kerry.
