One person has been arrested and charged after an individual gained access to the Government Buildings campus during heightened security on Budget Day.

Gardaí increased security around the Leinster House and Government Buildings area in Dublin for the Budget announcement on Tuesday, weeks after demonstrations during the return of the Dáil saw entrances to the premises blocked and included a mock gallows featuring ministers and opposition TDs.
