Taoiseach Simon Harris has spoken with Mary Lou McDonald, as the Sinn Féin leader called for an “urgent” intervention in Coolock following a week of unrest.

It comes as a third fire broke out at a disused factory earmarked to house asylum seekers in the area last night, and three gardaí were injured in clashes on Friday night.
