New figures published by the Department of Integration have revealed the extent of the crisis.

Despite intensive efforts to source emergency accommodation, the Department has been struggling to provide shelter to all international protection applicants.

The figures show that since early December, 1,336 male international protection applicants have presented to the International Protection Office.

Meanwhile, dozens are sleeping rough outside of the Department's office in Dublin.
