It is one of Europe’s most expensive real estate business locations, however, Dublin’s Mount Street on the city's south side has also recently become an unofficial tent city for homeless asylum seekers.

Directly across the road from the offices of the International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) one apartment for sale has a guide price of €1,600,000.
