Hundreds have been living in a makeshift camp on Mount Street near the International Protection Office.Alternative tented accommodation with food, shower and toilet facilities has reportedly been offered at a site in Crooksling, in the south-west of the county.

"Amazing what some political pressure can do. Should never have taken an outbreak of disease to get to this point."Speaking in America earlier this week, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he has “no difficulty” in meeting the asylum seekers who are sleeping in tents in Dublin, but said he did not believe it would “change the situation”.

The Taoiseach said the government was “doing all that we can” to find accommodation, and said that women, families and men with particular vulnerabilities were being prioritised.
