Mr. Éanna Rowe:

To give a bit of context, we have previously removed property and tents from the canals, as the Deputy has described, but never at this scale. On 9 May, we removed 107 tents from the location at Huband Bridge. On 23 May, we removed 89 tents from Wilton Terrace. On 30 May, we removed 87 tents. We had never before dealt with it at this scale.
