Campaigners and residents of Apollo House say they will be staying put, in defiance of this afternoon’s order to vacate.
A number of former residents of Apollo House moved back there after being offered alternative accommodation they said was totally unsuitable.
Hundreds of supporters gathered outside the Dublin building earlier to demand housing for the homeless.
