There are now 48 tents along a section of the Grand Canal in Dublin sheltering unaccommodated asylum seekers, an increase from last Thursday when there were 26.
The tents are along the north side of the canal between Baggot Street and Leeson Street.
The first tents were pitched on this stretch of the canal on Thursday evening after others were removed along a neighbouring part of the canal when people were taken to State provided accommodation sites and barriers were erected.
It comes as the Cabinet is set to order a review of entitlements for asylum seekers applying for international protection, with a report to be completed within six weeks.
