A small protest took place this afternoon outside a site earmarked for asylum seekers in Coolock, north Dublin.
About 60 people gathered at the former Crown Paints factory on the Malahide Road between 2pm and 3pm, with a number of those flying tricolour flags.
Posting on social media, the Coolock Says No group said it did not organise a protest for Saturday afternoon.
Local gardaí were present at the scene while the public order unit also monitored the situation. By about 5pm, most of the crowd had moved off.
It was the latest in a series of protests in the area over recent weeks, with some resulting in violent clashes with gardaí.
More than 20 people have been arrested and charged with public order offences relating to incidents near the Coolock site. All have been granted bail with the condition that they stay away from the former factory.
The High Court heard this week that it was believed drones are being used to deliver unlit petrol bombs to the site.
Lawyers for the developer and leaseholder of the Malahide Road site said incendiary devices were found near the property and it seems these were dropped off by drones ready for collection by individuals.
The High Court was previously told the site is due to be developed into 500 modular units, primarily for Ukrainians who have fled the war in their home country and do not have suitable accommodation in Ireland.
