One resident of a Dublin housing estate says he would prefer not "to be in the middle of the experiment" of housing traveller families there.
It comes as talks continue to find new homes for the families affected by a fire in Carrickmines, which killed 10 people last week.
Residents of Rockville Drive are objecting to the proposed site at the end of their estate.
Hugh O'Sullivan is living at the adjacent Glenamuck Cottages - and says the site is not near the estate, but is actually within it.
"It's more that it's in the middle of a housing estate", he told the Pat Kenny Show here on Newstalk.
"At the moment we know who we are, it'll just introduce an extra contingent of people who we don't know".
"It's more that it's in the middle of a housing estate - the traffic management is one issue but it's more the location that it's in".
"It's an issue...it's uncontrollable, it's something we can't really foresee".
"It's a very rushed decision and they really need to consider what the future outcomes will be".
"At the very least it'll be an experiment - this'll be a precedent in Ireland".
"It's a nice experiment - I'd prefer not to be in the middle of the experiment, but that's what it is".
The families say their temporary accommodation will no longer be available after Wednesday.
Funerals for the 10 victims of the devastating blaze begin in Wicklow tomorrow.
Negotiations are continuing between Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and residents of of Rockville Drive - in a bid to erect a temporary halting site for the survivors.
The Southside Travellers Action Group (STAG) says it met with council officials today and no resolution has been found as of yet.
The group says the families involved are becoming desperate over the situation.
STAG Director Geraldine Dunne said “The families are getting desperate to know what will happen to them when the funerals are over on Friday. This situation has gone on for 10 days and a decision is necessary immediately to provide these families with a safe place to live.”
