James Gannon from Ballaghaderreen in Co Roscommon says the Syrian community is devastated:
"Some of the horrors these people have endured when they were in Syria and getting out of Syria is just incomprehensible. You couldn't imagine in your wildest nightmares. It's absolutely horrendous," he said.
"What's happening at the moment, to see little children blown to pieces on the streets, in their houses, we can't imagine it. We can't imagine it in a western country. It's not too far away, Syria's not that far away."
