Security around Citywest Hotel remains tight with a large garda presence evident around the complex.
Steel barriers, which have been extended in height, now block the driveway leading to the main entrance.
Inside the complex - which is vast - the atmosphere is calm but tense.
RTÉ News was given permission to enter Citywest Hotel, to speak to some of the 1,200 residents, the majority of whom are Ukrainian refugees.
People seeking international protection also live at Citywest. While a small number live in the hotel, most (460) live in a different building which is a Transit Hub, to which we were not given access.
Of the 1,200 people in the hotel, there are around 350 Ukrainian families. Many of the children attend schools in the local area.
Anastasia has two children - a four-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy.
Once the protests took off, she prepared an emergency backpack just as she did in Ukraine.
"I put in medicine, I put clothes for kids, I put documents. I started to look, where is emergency exit, what I should do if everything will get very bad," she explained.
Visibly upset, Anastasia explained how she had to tell her children to be careful.
"I started to talk to them to say that we are not safe. I said you should be careful, maybe not playing outside because not safe for you playing outside. After school, we went to the room, and stay all day in the room."
At just two years of age, her son put his fists up and told her he would protect her.
"Yesterday, my son said, 'I will be protecting you, no worries Mama', but I know he's so small."
Natalia does not have children - but the protest which turned violent on Tuesday night - resulted in her taking care of her friend's child.
Her friend was on her way back from work by car and could not access the complex, so Natalia babysat the child for the night in her room while the mother found accommodation in Lucan for the night.
There are many stories about how people were forced to sleep in offices or find accommodation elsewhere due to the disturbances.
Those inside were "cut off" from all that happened outside, according to Natalia.
"So, we were not allowed to even go to the reception desk (of the hotel). There was no opportunity to get out from the hotel when the protests were on," she said.
Natalia has made the decision not to venture outside for the next couple of days.
There are a number of disabled people living in the Citywest Hotel.
Vaslylyna is visually impaired. Her greatest fear this week was a fire, because she didn't know where she would go.
She continues to live in fear.
"I don't go anywhere these days, even to the supermarket."
Speaking through a translator she said that if she needs to go to hospital, she will ask for help.

Those we spoke to were grateful to gardaí and staff at Citywest Hotel for keeping them safe.
The community of Saggart including parents of local schoolchildren, school staff and work colleagues were also commended for being "so good".
However, there's little doubt, the events of the past week have unnerved many of those living at the Citywest accommodation centre.
Residents remain tired, nervous and fearful.
