Ms Kate Mulkerrins:

Close proximity, as members will be aware, is likely to give rise to the presumption of a chain, or single course, of action. Where that is severed is a matter of individual factual analysis. I can see an argument where a roving protest that seeks to move in close proximity is seen as a single act. I see potential for that. I expect Dr. McNamara would agree from a policing perspective, although I have to stop encroaching on policing practices.
