Efforts are underway to find alternative accommodation for dozens of asylum seekers who have pitched tents in Dublin city
A Minister should be appointed specifically to deal with asylum seeker accommodation as tents grow in Dublin city, a Councillor has said.
"The solution is that the State starts to use the properties that the State currently owns to house people. "I think there needs to be a MInister who's given a short-term authority and brief to deal with this particular issue. "Somebody needs to get a hold of the situation and get a solution that's fair for both people living in the area and people living in the tents".
