Migrants were moved to Dublin's Citywest hotel and a site in CrookslingHundreds of migrants evicted from a 'shanty town' in central Dublin have arrived at a tent encampment outside the city amid an ongoing row with the British government over immigration.
Around 1,700 asylum seekers are believed to be living on the streets in Ireland after crossing the border from Northern Ireland, with some expressing their fear that they could be sent to Rwanda by the UK government if they had stayed. People seeking international protection were moved from outside the International Protection Office on Mount Street this morning
A truck-mounted crane was even deployed to tear the canvas structures away from the pavement and deposit them into a skip - or pull them into the street where officers could squirrel them away. 'The encampment at Mount Street has been dismantled and the streets are being cleaned by Dublin City Council.'
Government sources told the Irish Independent that Gardaí will be tasked with ensuring the tents do not return to the city. Authorities today commenced an operation to move asylum seekers who have been sleeping in tents on Mount Street The operation got underway at 6.30am this morning when officers descended on the tent city and began ushering occupants into the street.

'We don't envisage them returning. The state has, within its powers, the capacity to make sure we don't have tents back up on Mount Street or other streets and in our view the Government is very clear that we can't have tents in streets adjacent to neighbourhoods.
But the UK Government earlier this week said it would ignore any law passed by Ireland, with a No. 10 spokesperson declaring: 'Even if Ireland was to pass legislation, it is up to the UK Government to decide who it does or does not accept into the country.
