Leader of the Labour Party Ivana Bacik has said it is appalling that asylum seekers were again without accommodation last night.
Yesterday, a large number of men were turned away from the International Protection Accommodation Services office on Mount Street in Dublin.
Letters were circulated to those gathered, telling them that there would be no further offers of accommodation at this time.
Ms Bacik said their predicament arose from a clear failure of Government policy. She accused the coalition of having no coherent plan in place.
In a post on X, she said: “This is appalling – a clear failure of Gov policy – still no coherent accommodation plan in place.”
Meanwhile, a large queue formed outside The Light House run by Tiglin yesterday evening where tents, sleeping bags and food were due to be provided to those in the city without accommodation.
Barriers have remained in place on Mount Street. No tents returned to the area but there were reports that people have been sleeping in tents in other parts of Dublin city.
