More tents have been pitched tonight along the Grand Canal in Dublin, where around 40 were erected by asylum seekers last night.
The new encampment of tents has been erected between Mount Street Bridge and Huband Bridge.
The location is less than 400 metres from the International Protection Office on Mount Street.
A number of additional tents were erected along the canal bank this afternoon by other asylum seekers, who arrived in the area.
Volunteers have tonight been providing food and water to the men, while another woman has been offering them warm clothing.
On Wednesday, a large number of tents were removed from around the IPO, with accommodation offered to international protection applicants who were sleeping rough in the area.
Barriers were erected on the footpaths along Mount Street and around the IPO to prevent more tents being set up.

Yesterday, there were 1,676 male asylum seekers without an offer of State accommodation, according to the Department of Integration.
The figures came as a number of asylum seekers spent Thursday night in tents at a church park in Ballsbridge, Dublin.
Around 17 tents were pitched with permission at St Mary's Church on St Mary's Road.
On Thursday, a large number of men were turned away from the International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) office on Mount Street in Dublin.
The department figures confirmed that 284 previously unaccommodated asylum seekers were offered accommodation this week, when those sleeping rough around Mount Street were transported to Crooksling and Citywest in Dublin on Wednesday morning.
However, the figures also showed a further 127 new male asylum seekers presented at IPAS this week.
