As it stands, 120 asylum seekers are to be accommodated in tents on the grounds of the Westmeath barracks.

120 male asylum seekers will be accommodated in 15 tents in the square at Columb Barracks in Mullingar by the end of this month.

Justice Minister Simon Harris says he agrees, and will raise the matter with Integration Minister, Roderic O'Gorman:
