Taoiseach Simon Harris has been the subject of protests at his home in GreystonesIt was just before 8pm one Friday evening, when a tricolour-waving crowd, wearing scarves and masks to conceal their identities, gathered outside a house on an estate in Greystones, Co Wicklow. Their apparent demands were predictable: close borders to all migrants; introduce mass deportations and clear tents housing refugees from the streets of Dublin. It was the home of Taoiseach Simon Harris. The recent local and European elections shone a light on the ugly side of Irish politics. Today on the Indo Daily, Ellen Coyne is joined by John Meagher, journalist with the Irish Independent, to look at the escalating protests against politicians, and ask: is the Taoiseach safe in his own home?
