A PERSON'S HOME IS THEIR SANCTUARY

A Bill introduced by Gorey Senator Malcolm Byrne that would prohibit protests outside residential homes could also apply where the principal private residence is a direct provision centre. The Fianna Fáil Seanad Group intend to move it to the next stage in the Seanad this term.

The Protection of Private Residences (Against Targeted Picketing) Bill 2021 is designed to ban protests against individuals outside where they live.

Senator Malcolm Byrne says, “If anyone is unhappy with government policy, they can protest outside Leinster House, outside Government departments or agencies, or out side elected representatives’ offices.”

“We need the legislation to protect homes. That applies to the tempor ary homes of those seeking refuge as much as to elected representatives. A person is entitled to security and safety in the place that they call home.” n
