Association of Irish Government (AILG) said over a quarter of threats reported to An Garda Síochána
The AILG is to engage with the online regulator Coimisiún na Meán to highlight the particular problem of online abuse towards councillors.
Its findings underscore an urgent need to address the “normalising” of abuse in order to protect the future of local democracy, it said. ‘I’ve told them how much I want’: How one man’s objection cast doubt on the proposed expansion of a Dublin apartment block‘We love beating each other’: Tadhg Beirne relishes Ireland-Scotland rivalry as he aims for personal milestone
