Gardaí probe threats to TD from anti-abortion pair

Gardaí are investigating threats made to a Fine Gael TD by anti-abortion campaigners who distributed leaflets with her details around her constituency.

Meath East TD Regina Doherty said gardaí told her the men had breached the Public Order Act by distributing the material.

Ms Doherty, a mother of four, said she had shown gardaí photos she took of the men, who were delivering leaflets door-to-door at a number of estates near her home in Ratoath on Wednesday.
