The Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors says it's received 'important and welcome clarity' from Sinn Fein TD Eoin Ó Broin.
The Dublin Mid-West representative had been under fire for posting an artist's impression of Gardaí assisting with an eviction.
Deputy O'Broin stressed in a phone call with the organisations general secretary that he didn't intend to offend, or drag An Garda Síochana into a political controversy.
He added he was only keen to highlight the issue of homelessness and to criticise government policy.
