Thirty-one asylum seekers were unable to be accommodated by the State on Thursday, official figures show, bringing to 55 the total number of people left without housing assistance since they arrived here this week.
A department spokesman said officials had taken the details of asylum seekers it could not accommodate, who would be contacted “as soon as accommodation becomes available”.
“Nobody seems to have done a disaster mitigation plan,” such as providing further temporary tented accommodation or camp beds in sports halls, he said. “Ireland has one of the lowest levels of rough sleeping in Europe, this is going to transform that,” Mr Allen said. “It’s going to add up each day… There’s no sense of outflow,” he said.
