Cross-party event cut short as heckler targets Harris

Health Minister Simon Harris was confronted by heckles and calls for him to resign at a referendum event which had to be cut short after the interruption.

A pro-life supporter began to repeatedly shout at the minister and other politicians attending a cross-party Oireachtas event in support of a yes vote yesterday.

With only two days left of canvassing before the vote, both sides of the campaign hosted a number of events yesterday in a bid to convince those who remain undecided.
