France head mentor Fabien Galthie referred Eire pair Beirne and Andrew Porter into the citing commissioner for feasible retrospective punishment, which was later dismissed.
"There was zero malice in it," previous Eire wing Simon Zebo, a previous Munster crew-mate of Beirne, advised BBC's Six Nations Rugby Particular.
"Tadhg can be a clear player and wouldn't would like any lousy intent on any one. The one thing is, It's not necessarily an incredible impression.
"There exists a great deal of electrical power coming into that ruck and it appears even worse than it can be. No-one particular wishes to see him [Dupont] from the sport as he is the best participant on the earth."
Dupont, who was replaced by Maxime Lucu, provided seven helps and scored two tries before his Event was Lower short.
