Around 200 asylum seekers and their tents removed from outside IPO office in multi-agency operation
Taoiseach Simon Harris has thanked all those involved in this morning’s “humanitarian operation” on Dublin’s Mount Street.
Earlier today a multi-agency operation saw around 200 asylum seekers and their tents removed from outside the International Protection Office.
Residents and local businesses were among those raising concerns about the issue which has been highlighted for some time.
Those in the tents are being moved to International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS)-designated accommodation.
The Department of Integration said the IPAS-designated accommodation has toilets and showers, health services, indoor areas where food is provided, facilities to charge phones – as well as access to transport to and from Dublin city centre and 24-hour onsite security
