Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has condemned the actions of a man who reversed a van through the gates of the Russian Embassy in Dublin yesterday, claiming it was a "foolish" act.

Gardaí have since erected barriers outside the embassy after a man, who was arrested at the scene, drove a vehicle through the gates.
