People being moved from Mount St to 'number of sites'

People seeking asylum being moved from tents on Mount Street are being moved to facilities where they will have"all the wrap-around services", according to Minister For Trade, Enterprise and Employment Peter Burke .

"There are a number of officially accredited IPAs areas where they've been taken, where they will have healthcare services, where they will have food, shelter and accommodation," he said. "It's up nearly 200%, people coming into our country, and the Government has prioritised women and children first.

"If you look at people who are designated in countries that have been fast-tracked, safe countries, their applications have reduced by 50% over the last number of weeks," he said.However he said they are"in a challenging environment" and said that the way to resolve it is to sign up to the EU Migration Pact.
