Irish people, are Asking, Why was this Chaos allowed, to Happen, Anger is Rising?

The operation to move the makeshift camp that began early this morning comes amid increasing diplomatic tensions between the UK and Ireland.

The Irish Government has expressed concern about an upsurge of asylum seekers entering the state via the land border from Northern Ireland.

Council workers, some dressed in white overalls, were involved in clean-up efforts to remove the tents and wash down the camp area in and around Mount Street.

Asylum seekers congregated in groups waiting with their luggage as buses and taxis arrived to take them to another site where basic facilities will be offered.

“So the alternative in Crooksling had that, so it was to move them really for health and safety reasons from a place where there was no facility somewhere there is.”
