Ireland is at a "tipping point" on how it responds to issues around citizenship and national identity, the Taoiseach has warned.
Micheál Martin's comments come after Dublin City Council said it wanted to meet gardaí over the erection of Irish tricolour flags in public spaces across the city, following concerns raised by some residents.
