Gardaí are "walking a pretty thin line" when policing anti-immigrant protests and are having to balance competing demands, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has said.
He expressed "frustration" that his officers are the "only ones" not recording the incidents as they still do not have body cameras, which he said they should have so they can gather evidence.
