The Garda Commissioner has warned anyone “with a view towards militancy” taking part in planned anti-vaccination protests during tomorrow’s State visit of French President Emmanuel Macron that any law breaking “will not be tolerated”.

Drew Harris said protests were “part of a healthy democracy” and that An Garda Síochána will facilitate it where they can as long as it “stays within the law”.
