Protests at Simon Harris's family home widely condemned

Politicians and campaigners have strongly condemned a protest group for targeting Simon Harris at his family home as the health minister faces ongoing demands to resign over the deepening children’s hospital and nurses strike scandals.

Government TDs, opposition parties and the Irish Nurses and Midwives’ Organisation all hit out at the unprecedented situation after gardaí were called to Mr Harris’ home to clear 20 people protesting outside the property.
