Where those tents were set up was quite dangerous.
Unfortunately inevitable when people weren’t being actively moved on.
Just sticking up fences has not stopped it as anyone who walks along the canal can see.
Very sad but to be expected with the amount of tents in that precarious area.
One would hope that this is the event that finally rids the city of these encampments. The canal area around Mount St and Warrington Pl is getting out of hand. Metal barriers everywhere, household waste, obstructions, idle men loitering all day.
A lot more effort needs to be put into this that moving them once every 6 weeks. GNIB or another Govt. authority should be patrolling and moving these people on (regardless of nationality or status) the minute tent poles are removed from sacks.

Very odd story. Irish Times said both identified.
Was it at a lock? A rescue gone wrong perhaps?
