Migrant groups have expressed grave concern for the safety of asylum seekers sleeping rough.
A makeshift camp for migrants on Dublin's Sandwith Street was torched on Friday night amid demonstrations.
Integration Minister Roderic O'Gorman said people have the right to protest but not to 'intimidate'.
The Green Party TD said 180 beds will become available to be offered to migrants in the coming days.

Not one modular home ready for Ukrainian refugees as government way off target of 700
A report by
Eoghan Dalton
The programme aims to house people fleeing the war in Ukraine.
Only seven sites for modular homes to accommodate families fleeing the war in Ukraine have been found so far.
These sites have a combined capacity for 312 rapid-build homes - but it's some way off the government's own target of 700 homes.
One Social Democrats TD said the low delivery 'smacks of the government making a high-level decision and then not putting in the work to implement' the programme.
