A demonstration at the entrance to the Citywest accommodation centre in Dublin ended peacefully this evening following a number of protests in the area this week.
A woman leading the demonstration called for protesters to disperse around 9.30pm and demonstrators subsequently left the area.
Around 100 people gathered at the accommodation centre earlier this evening.
"We want a peaceful protest with no violence," one demonstrator shouted, with others shouting: "Who's streets? Our streets. What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now."
Gardaí are maintaining a significant presence in the area.
Protests have taken place outside the Citywest accommodation centre since Monday night.
Over 300 gardaí were involved in policing last night's protests, during which four gardaí were injured. All four were treated in hospital and later discharged.
Fifteen scooters and e-bikes were seized last night.
Gardaí have urged people, male juveniles in particular, not to get involved in public disorder.

A resident of the Citywest accommodation centre was assaulted on Tuesday evening.
According to the Department of Justice, the resident "attended hospital for his injuries, and has since returned to the centre where he is receiving assistance from our welfare team as he recovers".
Earlier this evening, the Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan said continued violent behaviour around asylum seeker accommodation in Dublin would be met with a "forceful response".
Mr O'Callaghan said that anyone who intended to go to Citywest in order to cause trouble would "be met with a forceful response".
Speaking on RTÉ's Six One, Mr O'Callaghan said: "It'll have very serious consequences for people later in life if they find themselves before the courts charged with public order offences."

He added: "People are perfectly entitled to make a political point, they're perfectly entitled to oppose Government policy.
"They are not entitled to use violence and break the criminal law, and attack members of An Garda Síochána who are there to defend the Irish public."
The Assistant Commissioner in charge of Dublin said what has happened over the past two days has not been peaceful protesting.
Cliona Richardson also said that many of those involved in the violence are not from the Saggart area and have come in from other parts of the country and abroad.
She said gardaí are very conscious of the impact the violence is having on the communities preventing people from going to work, shops, or visiting people in hospital.

Asst Comm Richardson said last night's disturbances largely involved young people and that such actions have long-term consequences for them.
Chief Superintendent Michael McNulty said there would be a constant presence of gardaí in the Citywest complex over the next week but it was not possible to say how long the situation would continue.
He said decisions on when to escalate the policing plan were made on intelligence and live feeds to the control room.
Gardaí said they are in the process of identifying people who threw bottles or missiles, launched fireworks, broke down walls for bricks and committed other offences, with a view to charging and bringing them before the courts.
Earlier, gardaí said there was significant criminal damage and a major impact on services in the Saggart and Citywest area of Dublin, mainly to public transport, following the disturbances outside the Citywest accommodation centre last night.
"This is not fun and games and entertainment for social media. The choices and reckless decisions you may make, to get involved or caught up in these events, may have serious consequences and adversely affect the course of your future," gardaí said in a statement.
They appealed to family members and friends, as well as those with influence in the community, "to engage with younger people and appeal for them not to get involved in this criminal activity".

Social media companies need to do more, says Minister for Justice
Mr O'Callaghan said social media platforms "need to do more" to combat the incitement of violence online.
"In terms of social media companies, they do have a responsibility to ensure that people are not allowed to engage in criminal activity online.
"That's something that they're going to have to reflect on," he said.
Mr O'Callaghan said that there were some advantages to social media, as it was leading to gardaí gathering a substantial amount of intelligence.
"There's an advantage to An Garda Síochána seeing what's on social media, because we're getting a lot of information from it and that's why the gardaí have been able to provide such a brave, professional and forceful response," he said.
Last night's policing operation began just before 7pm as gardaí prevented protesters arriving at Citywest from gathering in large numbers to form a critical mass.
Uniformed gardaí in soft caps directed people to leave the area under Section 8 of the Public Order Act.
They also linked arms and formed lines, which protesters tried to breach, and were subjected to verbal abuse.
The Public Order and Mounted Units were deployed to push protesters back as the graduated policing plan was stepped up. The water cannon was on standby but not used.
The Air Support and Dog Units along with 150 uniform gardaí and 120 public order officers were also involved.
Ukrainian families residing in Citywest said they are "scared" and "concerned" after a second night of disturbances during which they were instructed to stay in their rooms and keep away from windows.
Trouble had previously broken out at the Citywest accommodation centre on Tuesday during a protest attended by around 2,000 people.
An investigation to identify all of those involved is ongoing.
The demonstration began after a man had appeared in court charged with the sexual assault of a girl in the early hours of Monday morning.
