A man in his 40s has been arrested in connection with online threats against Taoiseach Simon Harris this morning.
Gardaí investigating online threats against the Taoiseach made the arrest this morning.It is understood the online threats against Mr Harris and his family remained online for at least two days after Gardaí asked Instagram owner Meta to remove them.
Separately, Gardaí are also investigating several other threats against Mr Harris since he became Taoiseach.It is understood they believe the residence, which was purchased by the State in 1999 is easier to protect.“There can be no hiding place for anyone seeking to threaten, attack or harm people or to incite others to do so,” he said.
“Politicians have become a regular target, and it is on the brink of being viewed as acceptable or a normal part of the job. “It is not acceptable. I get up every day and go to work and work as hard as I can - so do most politicians I know from all parties and none." Mr Harris also praised An Garda Síochána making “us proud every day in their work” and thanked the Irish people “for their kindness and decency - it means the world to me and my family.”
