The situation in Mount Street is unacceptable to everyone. A number of Departments and statutory agencies have been working together to alleviate the problems experienced by those camping there as well as the residents, local businesses and workers. This includes offering accommodation to many of those encamped outside the building in question and in its environs, providing regular waste collection in the area, policing the area and assessing the situation from a public health point of view. Representatives of agencies have met in recent days to assess the situation further and determine the appropriate responses. Meetings are ongoing between the relevant Departments and agencies in an effort to resolve the situation.
