The current shortage of accommodation means some newly-arrived refugees are sleeping rough until beds become available.
However, there are renewed fears for their safety - after a fire was set alight at a tented camp in Dublin city on Friday, following an anti-immigration protest.
CEO of the Irish Refugee Council, Nick Henderson says the level of aggression is of deep concern:
