The family of Ireland’s Tánaiste (Deputy Prime Minister), Simon Harris, have received online threats for a second time in one week.

The threat was made on social media yesterday, RTÉ has reported.

An Garda Síochána (Irish police) said they were investigating the matter.

It is understood it contained a serious threat of violence with direct contact made with the close family member on a social media platform.

It is the second threat made against Harris’ family in recent days, with a similar one made online on Sunday.

On Monday, Harris said: “Let me be clear: threatening people – any person – is a crime.

“Threatening children is despicable. It is cowardice and it is a line that no decent society should tolerate being crossed.”

A woman in her 30s who was arrested and questioned about the first threat was later released without charge pending a file to Ireland’s Director of Public Prosecutions.
