The Garda public order unit attended a standoff between protesters and counter-demonstrators over a makeshift migrant camp in Dublin City centre.

A number of asylum seekers who have not yet been offered state accommodation, and other homeless people, have been setting up tents in the area around the International Protection Office on Mount Street.
