Up to five tents have sprung up in a park next to an old ESB building used to house international applicants in Dublin’s north inner city.

A mixture of non-nationals and one Irish person are currently living in the tents in East Wall, which are within walking distance from the centre for asylum seekers where anti-immigration protestors held demonstrations for more than a year. The protests have since ceased.
