Migrants set up dozens of tents along banks of Dublin's Grand Canal
Daily MailMigrants have pitched dozens of tents along the banks of Dublin's Grand Canal just days after hundreds were evicted from a 'shanty town' in the city. Photos show the blue tents lined up along a stretch of the canal near the International Protection Office on Mount Street, where a makeshift migrant camp of more than 200 asylum seekers was dismantled on Wednesday by Irish authorities. It comes amid an ongoing row with the British government over asylum seekers crossing the border to avoid deportation to Rwanda under Rishi Sunak's new crackdown. 'There's no shame in saying that, in providing appropriate accommodation, I think buying up hotels and B&Bs across the country for the purpose of providing asylum accommodation, in my view, is no longer appropriate and we're seeing the increase in tensions - attacks on politicians' homes, protests that are getting out of control in certain parts of the country, and this to me is a huge, huge concern.'
