Migrant tents removed from Dublin’s Grand Canal

Around 100 tents being used by asylum seekers have been removed from Dublin’s Grand Canal.

The operation, which is the third of its kind in the area so far this month, began on Thursday morning.

Contractors began erecting metal barriers around the site from 05:00 BST, while the operation to remove tents began at around 06:30 BST.

Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported that 109 individuals were offered accommodation.

There has been a multi-agency effort to remove tents from around Dublin City in recent months.

Tents at the encampment close to the Baggot Street Bridge along the Grand Canal were dismantled and loaded onto a lorry.

The asylum seekers were given letters explaining that it is an offence if they continue to stay along the canal, RTÉ reported.

Five buses carrying the asylum seekers left shortly before 08:00 BST.
