No community can "have a veto" about who lives there, the Tánaiste has said.

Leo Varadkar was speaking on Wednesday as protesters in the East Wall area of Dublin said they would end their demonstrations against the housing of 80 single men in a former office building after Children's Minister Roderic O'Gorman agreed to meet with locals.
