Ban on protesting outside politicians' homes 'a conversation we have to have'

The question of whether there should be a ban on protests outside politicians’ homes is a “conversation we have to have”, Stephen Donnelly has said.

“If you’d asked me this question even six months ago, I would have given you the answer that I’d previously given - which is no, we shouldn’t legislate for this. “It is a direct threat to somebody’s safety and it has connotations of a threat to somebody’s life for the reasons we understand from the Troubles,” he said.
