Some 16 men from Palestine, Jordan, Afghanistan and Somalia camped in north Dublin suburb over the weekend
A group of asylum seekers has camped in the Dublin suburb of Phibsborough after earlier camping at the Phoenix Park and Charlemont Place About 16 men from Palestine, Jordan, Afghanistan and Somalia camped in the north Dublin suburb over the weekend after they were moved on from a site in Phoenix Park on Friday by gardaí and staff from the Office of Public Works.
In a statement, the Phibsboro For All group said accommodating the men in tents in a largely residential neighbourhood was “not an ideal situation” and that the State had “duty of care” to accommodate and support asylum seekers. Gardaí attended the site overnight on Saturday after a number of hooded men yelled racist slurs at the asylum seekers and threatened them with violence. However, no arrests were made.
