It was the same for each of the 200-odd asylum seekers living in the Mount Street encampment. At about 7am, scores of uniformed gardaí began to move the men out of their tents, directing them to board idling buses. Once onboard, they would be transferred to tented accommodation in Crooksling, south Co Dublin, or to Citywest.
Said, who said he was from Egypt and looked to be in his 40s, said he had been staying close to the IPO since arriving in Ireland from the UK a fortnight ago. He said he did not want to go to alternative accommodation, because he’d be separated from his partner. The couple are currently homeless, he said tearfully, walking in the direction of the Grand Canal with two shopping bags of belongings.
