Immigration papers have been served on the Roma family who are camped at the M50 roundabout in Dublin's Ballymun.
Members of the Garda National Immigration Bureau, under the direction of the Superintendent at Santry, served the documents in the early hours of this morning.
Similar documents were also served at a derelict house on the Old Swords Road.
A total of 86 persons were presented with these documents, in accordance with immigration law.
No arrests were made during the operation.
As the family are Romanian nationals, they can legally reside here, but not work without a permit.
The documents state the intention of the Justice Minister Brian Lenihan to serve a removal order under EU law on them, on public health and financial grounds.
They have 15 days to make representations to him on the issue.
