24-hour Grand Canal patrols launched by Waterways Ireland to prevent homeless asylum seeker encampments.

Waterways Ireland has launched 24-hour patrols along Dublin's Grand Canal to prevent homeless asylum seekers from setting up tents and to safeguard existing fencing. This pilot program aims to address public safety concerns and is in response to numerous complaints about the fencing, which has faced criticism for being exclusionary. The initiative also includes plans for landscaping and biodiversity efforts to enhance the canal's amenity.
