Asylum seekers who have returned to live in tents on Mount St, Dublin, have claimed they left an alternative site provided in Crooksling because they were attacked, while conditions were “terrible". 

On Saturday, a growing tent city that has been in operation for months in the inner city, was dismantled by the Government, and occupants were moved to the Crooksling site in South Dublin.
