Mask-Wearing to be Banned at Protests
A total ban on the wearing of masks at protests and demonstrations is on the way.
Justice Minister Helen McEntee is bringing forward legislation in light of recent protests at accommodation for asylum seekers.
It's understood the ban would also extend to those holding demonstrations outside politicians' homes.
The most recent target was Taoiseach Simon Harris's home in Greystones, County Wicklow.
If passed, Gardaí will then have the power to direct protestors to take off their masks.
