Statement from Tánaiste Simon Harris, 1 September 2025

This weekend, I received direct threats targeting my family. As a father, I have very strong views and feelings on this as you can imagine. As a political leader, I find it unacceptable in every way.

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.

I will not be commenting further at this time on any ongoing Garda investigation.
