Tented accommodation for asylum seekers in Athlone has been fully stood down.
Four large tents which accommodated almost 200 people at the Lissywollen site were erected in August to deal with the large numbers of refugees arriving here.
A number of asylum seekers based at the location were relocated to Dublin last month.

The Department of Integration has confirmed this evening that the remaining international protection applicants were moved to other accommodation this morning.
While their new location is unknown it's believed the tents in Lissywollen are no longer in use.
