The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) released a statement after reports police had been called to the team hotel in Portmarnock.
The FAI confirmed an incident had taken place, and backed Keane – who called police.
"Following inaccurate media reports which refer to an incident involving a member of the public this evening at the Republic of Ireland team hotel, we wish to clarify that Roy Keane called the Gardai [police] following the incident," he said.
"The manager, Martin O'Neill and the FAI are fully aware of the circumstances surrounding this event, and the assistant manager has their full support."
