The number of tents along the Grand Canal, near Mount Street Lower where the headquarters of the International Protection Office is located, continued to increase on Wednesday, with more than 100 present. Though the men did not know where they would be brought to, it is understood they are being bussed to a site at Crooksling, where some people staying in tents were moved to from outside the IPO last week. A number said they did not want to go to Crooksling as they had already been there and had left to return to the city centre.Patrick Freyne: On Selling the OC, Alex has the recipe for a good relationship.

There is significant concern at the highest levels of Government about what one source described on Wednesday night as “record levels” of new arrivals as the State is struggling to find extra space.
