Dublin's refugees living outside society’s lines

There is something incongruous about people living in tents in this affluent enclave, en route to nowhere, as life passes by on a city-bound train, writes Michael Clifford.

THE refugee camp is on the Luas line, in the heart of south Dublin, not far from Dundrum Town Centre. It looks down on the Dodder, across which sits Alexandra College for young ladies.

The refugees aren’t fleeing a war — not a conventional one anyway.
