A homeless man is in a serious condition in a Dublin hospital after the tent he was sleeping in was picked up by an industrial litter-clearing vehicle.
The unnamed man was injured when workers from Waterways Ireland, the body responsible for maintaining Ireland's rivers and canals, cleared a walkway along a canal in the Irish capital. "A man was sleeping in his tent when it was being removed in an attempt to tidy the canal walk way," local police said in a statement."The man received injuries during this incident and was removed to St. Vincent's Hospital where he remains in serious condition but stable.
Brian McLoughlin, head of communications for the charity Inner City Helping Homeless in Dublin, told CNN:"We are disgusted by the actions of Waterways Ireland and Dublin City Council for the inhumane removal of a man's tent from the bank of the royal canal in Dublin as he slept in it yesterday afternoon."The man remains in hospital where he has suffered life changing injuries from the machine used to remove his tent as he slept.
