Fianna Fáil has said that comments made by party representatives, in relation to the accommodation of asylum seekers at the Ross Lake House Hotel in Galway, have been referred to the party's Rules and Procedures Committee.
In a statement a spokesperson said that the party believes in "equality and inclusion".
They added that "we do not accept any equivocation in respect of any criminal acts and do not accept attempts or suggestions being made to equate migration with increased criminality".
"Comments made to that effect by any public representative are wrong and unacceptable. The Party has made this clear on numerous occasions", they said.
