By Aoife Loughran

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The High Court was told on 12 May 2023 that accommodation for homeless asylum seekers was being arranged on a rolling basis amid rising demand.

The judge said he would seek a further update later that month on efforts to meet applicants’ needs.

Some applicants had been offered accommodation, while others remained homeless or had only been offered a chair at the Citywest transit hub.

This report covers an earlier stage of the case. Later developments are not reported here.
