Dublin's Lord Mayor is due to meet senior gardaí and City Council officials to discuss ways of tackling crime and anti-social behaviour in the city.
The meeting was called after three people were arrested in the O'Devaney Gardens housing estate in north Dublin in a serious disturbance on Wednesday night.
Gardaí say a group of youths, who tried to intervene when the three were arrested, threw bottles at garda vehicles.
The three, a 30-year-old woman and two men, aged 24 and 31, are due in court next month on public order charges.
Councillor Eibhlin Byrne says the authorities must work with local communities to wipe out crime
