Taoiseach Simon Harris describes protest outside his house as his children were preparing for bed

Protesters gathered outside the family home of Taoiseach Simon Harris last night as his children were preparing for bed. Days after Mr Harris criticised protests outside politicians’ homes as “downright thuggery”, a group carrying anti-immigration banners gathered outside his house. The Taoiseach lives with his wife and two small children in a housing estate in the Greystones area of Co Wicklow. More than a dozen people were part of a group holding banners with slogans including ‘close the borders’, ‘house the Irish first’ and ‘Eire will no longer run by EU puppets’. Images of the demonstrators outside the Taoiseach’s house were posted on social media but their faces were blurred.
