Tents cleared from Dublin canal as migrants offered State shelter

Dozens of asylum seekers have been removed from a makeshift camp in Dublin city centre.
The operation to dismantle the tents pitched in a cramped space along the Grand Canal began shortly after 7am on Thursday.
Workers sprayed numbers on around 80 tents as they were being collected for disposal.
The men who had been sleeping rough in the tents were told they would be moved to State-provided shelter if they boarded coaches which arrived at the camp.
