Another multi-agency operation has taken place to remove tents from Dublin's Grand Canal.
Up to 100 tents used by asylum seekers have been removed as part of the operation which began early on Thursday morning.
It is believed that 109 individuals were offered accommodation and is the third such clearance along the waterway in recent weeks.
Five buses carrying the men left shortly before 8am and fresh barriers were erected along the canal.
It comes as six sites across the country have been earmarked for migrants arriving here in a bid to take pressure off Dublin.
The Government also plans to open a new asylum-processing centre outside the capital.

A new strategy to house hundreds of migrants arriving in Dublin will see centres opened in the likes of Kerry, Westmeath and Athlone.
The plans include prefab units for 200 people at a former military barracks in Mullingar and space for 400 at a site in Athlone.
In Dublin, capacity at Crooksling is reportedly set to be doubled while around 100 asylum seekers will be housed in Ballyogan in the coming days.
The plan also includes the use of Thornton Hall in north Dublin which is expected to be operational in the coming weeks.
