Gardaí investigating demonstrations outside Taoiseach Simon Harris' Wicklow home have arrested three men.

Gardaí in the Wexford/Wicklow Division, supported by the Special Detective Unit, have arrested three men, two in their 40s and one in his 30s, for alleged offences contrary to Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act, on Thursday morning.

Gardaí confirmed the arrests are part of ongoing investigations into the alleged harassment of an elected official. It is understood the arrests relate to demonstrations outside the Taoiseach's Wicklow home last Friday, and last month.

According to RTÉ, one of the men is being questioned in relation to the demonstration on Friday, while the two other men have been arrested in relation to the incident last month.
