Taoiseach Simon Harris admitted that future accommodation coming on stream will likely be tented accommodation
There will be soon be another operation to move more asylum seekers from tents in Dublin as another encampment was set up along the Grand Canal overnight on Thursday.
Speaking at the launch of a new housing development in Hollystown, west Dublin, Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien and Immigration Minister Roderic O’Gorman indicated that the asylum seekers and their tents will be moved. Minister O’Gorman, meanwhile, said that he was aware of the tents at the Grand Canal but argued the Government has accommodated 450 people in the last week following the operations at Mount Street and Grand Canal.
It was reported in the Irish Mirror last week and elsewhere on Friday that the Government will now turn its attention to derelict and disused buildings in a bid to solve the accommodation shortages. Speaking in Cork, meanwhile, Taoiseach Simon Harris said that the situation at Mount Street had been allowed to “fester for many weeks and months” and a similar situation will not be allowed to happen again.
