200 asylum seekers removed from ‘tent city’ on Dublin’s Mount Street
Gardai remove 200 asylum seekers from Mount Street on coaches
Around 200 asylum-seekers who had been sleeping in tents outside the international protection office on Mount Street have been moved from the area in a massive relocation operation this morning.
Yesterday, Taoiseach Simon Harris had pledged to ban asylum-seekers from creating “shanty towns” in Dublin city as they wait for their international protection applications to be heard.
Government sources said gardaí will be asked to ensure tent camps do not return to the city.
