Fifteen families who moved to an alternative illegal site in Dundalk, Co Louth after they were evicted from Woodland Park say they have been told they have to leave the new site.
However, no formal eviction has yet taken place and a deadline of 2pm passed without incident.
Last Friday, the eviction of 23 families from Woodland Park began and 15 of those families moved to a new site off the N52, which is understood to be privately owned by a third party .
They say gardaí told them yesterday that they had leave that site.
Families say they are now waiting to see what happens and say they have nowhere else to go.
They say this site is less safe than the previous site in Woodland Park and that any other informal site on the side of a road would be more dangerous again, especially for their children.
The families have criticised suggestions that they move to two halting sites outside of Dundalk, away from their children's schools and extended families.
Efforts to secure private rented accommodation for some families have also as yet proved unsuccessful.
Solicitor for the families Eleanor Kelly, says she has written to gardaí, to query on what basis they were seeking to remove the families from the site.
This evening, Louth's Local Traveller Consultative Committee met at Louth County Council's offices.
The committee has the statutory authority to consider the Traveller Accommodation Programme and make recommendations on it to the council.
The membership comprises council officials, elected council members and Traveller representatives, though no former Woodland Park resident was in attendance.
Louth County Council has also acknowledged its receipt of a letter from Eleanor Kelly, which raises concerns about short and medium term solutions proposed at last Tuesday's meeting.
The council says it is considering the letter's contents and will be reverting to the Traveller representatives on the next steps to take as a priority.
It has said that while the future of Woodland Park is one of a number of things being considered as part of discussions with residents, there is no way it could be re-opened immediately as it is currently not fit for purpose.
Martin Collins of the Pavee Point Traveler and Roma Centre Group has said the families that are living in the makeshift halting site are also living in a precarious position from a health and safety point of view.
He has called for the immediate reopening of Woodland Park.
Representatives for those evicted from Woodland Park and the Louth Traveller movement have organised a protest outside Louth County Council offices at 12pm tomorrow.
It is understood that Traveller groups from Tipperary, Carlow, Navan and Clondalkin in Dublin will be among those in attendance.
