Asylum seekers pitched more than 100 tents in a camp along Dublin's Grand Canal, a short walk from the International Protection Office, as the government struggles to provide accommodation.
Irish authorities have dismantled another 'tent city' in Dublin as the country continues to face an influx of migrants, many of whom have arrived from the UK.
The removal comes amid an ongoing row with the UK government over asylum seekers crossing the border from Northern Ireland, with claims that they are doing so to avoid deportation to Rwanda.Men living in the tents were seen leaving the area ahead of the removal operation this morningA large number of asylum seekers reportedly boarded buses by 7.30am this morning
The Irish government said that all asylum seekers were moved to accommodation in County Dublin, with a total of 186 applicants accommodated in the suburb of Citywest, and 99 at Crooksling, an hour from the city centre in the Dublin mountains.

Asylum claimants leave with their belongings during an early morning operation by Irish authorities to remove tents Rishi Sunak declared last month that he is 'not interested' in taking back migrants from Ireland given that the EU refuses to take back Channel migrants who arrived from France. 'We are not going to start accepting returns from the EU, just as France doesn't accept returns from the UK.'
