Asylum seeker tents cleared from Grand Canal as Taoiseach says 'Team Ireland' response needed

Asylum seekers were told they are committing an offence by camping on the canal.

Diggers have cleared all the tents from the area.

The Government has confirmed that 163 individuals were moved to Crooksling and the former Central Mental Hospital (CMH) in Dundrum.

The Taoiseach said an all-of-Government approach is needed and that he has "no doubt" further issues will arise.
