The enforcement of the law, including those laws governing protests, is a matter for An Garda Síochána, while the decision to prosecute any member of the public for any crime is a matter for the Director of Public Prosecutions, who is completely independent in the exercise of her functions.

With regard to protests outside the homes of public representatives, I can further advise the Deputy that my Department and An Garda Síochána keep such security matters under ongoing review.
