Taoiseach Simon Harris has said he is “frustrated” that protests are still taking place outside the homes of politicians seven years after it happened outside his own house. He also said he wants clarity immediately on whether existing laws are "robust" enough or whether new laws are needed.

“I am very concerned that either the laws are there and aren’t being robustly enforced in all cases. Perhaps gardaí are feeling sometimes disempowered,” Mr Harris said
