They're just two different ways of saying the same thing.
There are many cases in Irish in which you can express the same meaning in two ways:
(a) with a plain verb, or
(b) with a noun used together with a "light" verb
The verb of (a) may be derived from the noun of (b), or else the noun of (b) may be the verbal noun of (a).
Some more examples:
cuidiú le ~ cuidiú a thabhairt do
úsáid ~ úsáid a bhaint as
léim ~ léim a thabhairt
screadach ~ scread a ligean
The difference is stylistic rather than semantic.
