Dublin Authorities Clear Migrant Encampments Along Grand Canal

Over 100 asylum seekers moved to State-provided shelters in the fifth operation this year as the city grapples with accommodation shortages.

Contractors began removing tents early Thursday morning, with over 100 tents dismantled.
109 asylum seekers were offered accommodation, including sites at Citywest and Crooksling.
The Irish government says it cannot currently provide housing for all male asylum seekers.
Volunteers assisted in informing and preparing the asylum seekers for the move.
This marks the fifth clearance operation in Dublin in recent months, highlighting ongoing accommodation challenges.
