Letters written to the environment minister show there were ongoing tensions between Carrickmines residents and members of the traveller community leading up to a fire, which killed 10 people.
Homeowners complained to authorities about anti-social behaviour, drinking and criminality at the site in the days before the October 9th blaze.
A number of letters have been released under Freedom of Information to the Irish Examiner.
The complaints came after the Environment Minister Alan Kelly criticised the blocking of a proposed relocation of the families to a site beside Rockville Drive.
One resident wrote to Mr Kelly: "If you are so concerned about resettling the travellers, put them on your own doorstep".
While others blamed Mr Kelly, and the Government, for having placed the travellers in an "unsafe" site in the first place.
Political editor of the Irish Examiner, Daniel McConnell, spoke to Newstalk Breakfast.
