Around 30 tents have been pitched by asylum seekers along the Grand Canal in Dublin.

The new encampment is located between Mount Street Bridge and Huband Bridge, less than 400 metres from the International Protection Office on Mount Street.

Similar tents have previously been removed from the area, with metal barriers placed along both canal banks to prevent more tents being set up.

Some of the new tents have been erected inside the fencing, which was installed by Waterways Ireland at a cost of €30,000 per week.

The latest figures from the Department of Integration show there are 2,509 male international protection applicants awaiting an offer of accommodation, as of today.
