He also said that those sleeping in the area were not moved because of a high-profile football match.
The Europa League final between Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen is to be held at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on Wednesday night.
Mr Ryan said the asylum seekers were moved as accommodation became available and not because of the sporting spectacle, which takes place tonight.
