The tents were considered a hazard by Waterways Ireland, and Mr Adane and other homeless people who had pitched tents there had been served with eviction notices. On January 14, Waterways Ireland, assisted by an outreach worker with Dublin Regional Homeless Executive, began to clear the tents. They used a digger with a mechanical claw that was contracted by Waterways Ireland. Waterways Ireland said it continued to cooperate with the HSA and Garda investigations and would not comment further.
