There's a call on the Government to empty an asylum seekers 'tent village' in County Clare.

Human Rights group 'Doras' says it's 'inhumane' to leave anyone camping out during the current cold snap.

It says 21 men were moved to Dublin and Waterford yesterday, but around 80 remain.

Doras CEO John Lannon says the Government needs to do more:

"We appreciate the enormous ongoing challenges that they face when it comes to finding accommodation, particularly for International Protection Applicants, but we've been meeting many of the men in the tents. The conditions and now the cold are really taken their toll on their well being and their health. We should not be in a situation where anybody has to spend a night in a tent in Ireland".
