Taoiseach Simon Harris' visit to Castlebar, Co Mayo, was disrupted by protests from the family of Enoch Burke, a secondary school teacher imprisoned for contempt of court. Harris' media briefing was abandoned due to the protests, which also raised concerns about state provision of asylum seeker accommodation in Mayo. The Taoiseach criticized the protests as "thinly-veiled thuggery" and "toxicity."
