A protest at the International Protection Office - calling on Government to put in place a policy for accommodating registered asylum seekers - has ended with a march to the Department of Integration.
There were further speeches at the department on Baggot Street in Dublin city centre.
Representatives from groups United Against Racism, Social Rights Ireland and End Direct Provision Action say they are "disgusted at the Government's calculated decision to move asylum seekers out of the city centre to a remote location, ahead of the St Patrick's Day Festival".
Dozens of people attended the demonstration at Grattan Court, just off Mount Street, in Dublin city.
United Against Racism said the housing crisis has been caused by the Government, not refugees.
A statement issued by the groups said asylum seekers who had been camping outside the IPO were told to board a bus to be brought to new accommodation.
"The bus dropped them at a remote location on the outskirts of Dublin, where they were given tents and informed that this was their new 'accommodation'," it said.
The statement pointed out that the campsite at the IPO was destroyed, with "thousands of euros" worth of tents and belongings cleared and dumped.
Some of the men refused to remain at the new location and made their way back to the IPO on foot, a distance of 20km.
This afternoon there were no protestors at the former St Brigid's Nursing Home site in Crooksling, Co Dublin.
Security guards are stationed behind a metal gate at the entrance to the facility.
A number of vehicles have been seen entering and leaving the site.
A van from Safetynet Primary Healthcare, which provides healthcare services to vulnerable groups including international protection applicants, entered Crooksling.
A truck carrying portable toilets was seen leaving the site.
There were around 30 tents at the IPO this morning.
One man who spoke to RTÉ News was among those moved to the new site at Crooksling on the Dublin/Wicklow border on Saturday.
He walked back to the city centre because he feared for his safety due to threatening behaviour by people at the site.
Asked if they expected more to arrive back to Mount Street, two of the men said definitely.
There are CCTV cameras at the International Protection Office and there was a garda presence there this morning.
People Before Profit has described as "outrageous" that "these vulnerable men are being treated with such disdain by our Government".
It said that with over 166,000 empty properties in Ireland, and at least 500 beds available in emergency accommodation in locations such as City West, "it is hard to see this inhumane treatment of asylum seekers as anything other than a deliberate policy intended to discourage others from seeking asylum in Ireland".
