At least 35 people are camping in tents outside the International Protection Office on Mount St in Dublin city after officials attempted to move people to Crooksling at the weekend.
The individuals are understood to include a mix of people who have returned from Crooksling and new arrivals who have come to Ireland in recent days.
Asylum seekers have been sleeping rough outside the International Protection Office after the Government stopped providing State accommodation in December.
Yesterday, the Minister for Integration denied claims that asylum seekers on Mount St were moved to Crooksling in light of St Patrick's Day.
Roderic O'Gorman said that he made the decision to move about 150 asylum seekers to emergency accommodation at Crooksling on Saturday after the site became available in recent days.
"It was a decision in light of the fact of the unacceptable situation that had been taking place in Mount St over the last number of weeks where people didn't have access to sanitation services, showers, meals and weren’t secure at night," he said.
On Saturday night at least 20 men returned to Mount St from Crooksling.
They said the new location was "too remote" and it was cold when they arrived and they feared it could be colder tonight.
The men said they were promised sanitary facilities in Crooksling, but "they didn't work".
The co-ordinator of the Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland, Lucky Khambule, has said that no additional services including toilets have been made available for those in tents outside Mount St this evening.
