A Ukrainian asylum seeker who spent two months living outside the offices of the International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) in Dublin has finally been moved to a sheltered unit.
Mykola Shvets, 33, was initially living in a tent in Phoenix Park after arriving in Ireland before moving onto the streets outside the State office for processing asylum applications in south Dublin.
