Authorities in Dublin yesterday began pulling apart a new ‘tent city’ constructed by homeless asylum seekers along the city’s Grand Canal in recent weeks.
The string of tents that had sprung up on the canalside were hosting at least 89 male asylum seekers according to Green Party leader Eamon Ryan.
Many of the occupants were moved to several temporary accommodation centres yesterday, but dozens of migrants still remain in tents near the waterways, fresh images taken earlier today showed.
