The Garda Public Order Unit has moved a group of protesters from the site of the former Crown Paints factory in Coolock this evening.
Earlier, a section of the Malahide Road northbound was closed after some of the crowd gathered there spilled out on to the road.
The unit was deployed after 8.30pm and the road was cleared. The Garda helicopter monitored the situation from the air.
Garda Headquarters said that no injuries were reported and no arrests were made.
Earlier, the Garda Representative Association requested an "urgent" meeting with senior garda management to discuss the response to yesterday's disturbances in Coolock.
In a statement, the GRA said it had contacted the office of Commissioner Drew Harris to request the meeting to raise concerns about the safety of its members.
It also wishes to discuss the timeline of events.
The association earlier criticised the policing of the protest in Coolock, saying there was "a clear delay in the deployment of the public order unit".
The association, which represents over 12,000 rank-and-file gardaí, said this exposed gardaí to extremely volatile and dangerous conditions for hours.
Violent disturbances broke out at the site of a proposed development for International Protection applicants in Coolock after trucks and construction equipment were brought on site yesterday.
The site has been sealed off with concrete barricades.
A security guard was injured, petrol bombs and fireworks were thrown, a digger was set on fire and two garda cars were damaged.

Gardaí fortunate not to suffer more serious injuries - GRA President
GRA President Mark O'Meara said it was fortunate that gardaí did not suffer more serious injuries than those that were sustained.
Minister for Justice Helen McEntee has said there was a graduated response by gardaí and resources were deployed as needed.
Speaking on RTÉ's News at One, she said she was entirely satisfied with the policing response yesterday.
"I don't think anybody looking at what happened yesterday could not be supportive of the way in which gardaí responded, the level of gardaí that we had on the ground in response to what was a very challenging and emerging situation, you had different groups emerging at different times, not just at the site but at other parts across the community," Ms McEntee said.
She added that gardaí brought this under control very quickly and responded effectively.
Ms McEntee also said it was evident that the gardaí had additional resources, following on from the riots in Dublin last November.
She said that gardaí had stronger incapacitant spray, greater batons and shields as well as more people deployed in public order units as well as body cameras.
On water cannons being borrowed from the PSNI, she said that Ireland is in the process of purchasing its own but it takes time.
"It was decided it was not needed yesterday, if it was needed it would have been used.. they can be deployed very quickly and if they are needed, we can make make sure that we have them," the minister said.
Garda Commissioner rejects criticism
Gardaí at Coolock are gathering CCTV and other evidence and examining the range of offences committed, including public order, criminal damage and incitement.
Gardai said that further arrests and charges are expected.
A total of 30 people have so far been arrested, 21 of which have appeared in court.
Earlier the Garda Commissioner Drew Harris rejected criticism that deployment of the Public Order Unit was slow and said there were no reports of gardaí or the public being injured.
Commissioner Harris described the scene at the former Crown Paints warehouse in north Dublin as unacceptable, but said the violence was intermittent throughout the day and was quickly brought under control.
Over 200 gardaí were on duty and he commended the public order unit and local gardaí for their response to what he said was "serious public disorder" within "a very volatile and difficult situation".
Meanwhile, Taoiseach Simon Harris has said what unfolded yesterday was the "hijacking of a situation" by a group of people who engaged in "utter thuggery" and was not reflective of the people in Coolock.
