A man has been arrested in connection with a demonstration outside the family home of Taoiseach Simon Harris.
On May 2nd, anti-immigration protesters staged a demonstration outside Mr Harrisâs home in Greystones, Co Wicklow, and gathered around a banner saying âSouth Dublin says no, close the borderâ.
The man was arrested on Tuesday and detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984. He was released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Last month a woman was arrested in connection with the same incident. A file is being prepared for the DPP too in that incident.
Speaking recently on Ryan Tubridyâs Bookshelf podcast about the incident, Mr Harris said: âI kind of bristle at the word protest or protestor, because I think it does a disservice to actual protest.
âI think it is a form of thuggery. I think it is a form of intimidation. I think it is a form of harassment.
âI think it is done to unsettle and unnerve people. I think itâs done by people to let you know they know where you live.â
Mr Harris ruled out a move to a State residence, such as Farmleigh House in Phoenix Park, the Taoiseach said it would be too disruptive for his childrenâs lives.
