Simon Harris denied that his frustration lies with Garda Commissioner Drew Harris, despite the Taoiseach questioning if Gardaí feel 'disempowered'
Taoiseach Simon Harris has admitted that he is “frustrated” that protests outside politicians' homes have been continuing since 2019 as he called for clarity on whether new laws were needed.
It comes following the condemnation of a protest outside Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman’s home in west Dublin last week.Up to a dozen men, some of whom had their faces covered with masks or balaclavas, gathered outside the Green Party TD’s home in Blanchardstown last Thursday evening. Several banners and signs were hung from the front gate and railings.
He said he will now seek clarity on whether news laws are required or if existing laws are not being enforced strongly enough.“I'm a little frustrated that this is going on for too long. It's been a long time since when people were outside my home. Asked if he believed that they were “afraid”, Mr Harris said that he was not going to speak on behalf of every Garda.
