The Taoiseach has denied that he and Justice Minister Simon Harris differ on the issue of policing in Dublin.

In light of the burning of tents belonging to asylum seekers over the weekend, Leo Varadkar had said he did not feel that there were enough gardaí on the streets of the capital, but Mr Harris was quick to say that gardaí have sufficient resources.
