Asylum Seekers' Tent City in Dublin: From Mount Street to Crooksling Adventures

Asylum seekers in Dublin are on a tented relocation journey from Mount Street to Crooksling! Find out more about this unusual move.

Asylum seekers in Dublin faced a peculiar journey from Mount Street to the Dublin mountains in Crooksling. Up to 200 men had been living in tents on Mount Street due to a shortage of accommodation for male asylum seekers. Those who accepted the offer were provided tented accommodation in Crooksling, complete with essential facilities like food, toiletries, and shower facilities. People staying in tents on Mount Street were relocated to new tented accommodation outside the city center. The International Protection applicants were camped in central Dublin but have now been moved to alternative tented sites.

The scene at Mount Street cleared out as cleaners arrived by 10.30 am, signaling the end of the makeshift camp's era in the city center. Homeless male asylum seekers relocated from Dublin city center were instructed to pitch tents 'anywhere on the mountain' in Co Dublin, showcasing the drastic change in living conditions. Hundreds of asylum seekers have transitioned from Dublin's 'tent city' near the International Protection Office to new accommodations.

Interesting Fact: Crooksling, the new tented site for asylum seekers, offers a fresh start in the Dublin mountains with essential amenities. The relocation of asylum seekers from tent city camps to new sites aims to improve living conditions and provide proper support for International Protection applicants in Dublin.
