Conditions for people living in tents on Mount Street in Dublin were"unlivable", the co-founder of the Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland Lucky Khambule has said.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Khambule said the people who had been living there were"dependent on volunteers". The conditions at emergency accommodation at Crooksling in Co Dublin have improved dramatically since a number of international protection applicants were moved there earlier this year, he added."Otherwise it will be up to the volunteers to help these people," Mr Khambule said.The founder and chairman of Tiglin, which operates a homeless service called the Lighthouse in Dublin city centre near Mount Street, has said the situation had become"untenable".
