DPP to receive file on Kenny death threat

A file is being sent to the DPP to determine if a Castlebar man is to be charged after a death threat was made against Taoiseach Enda Kenny on Facebook.

A complaint was made to local gardaí by Mr Kenny’s parliamentary secretary, Ger Deere, on the Taoiseach’s behalf on Thursday morning over a comment made on a Facebook page almost three weeks ago.

The page in question is a campaign called Save the Sacred Heart Hospital Castlebar, which had the following comment posted on May 18: “If they close this hospital il shoot Enda Kenny JFK assassination style.”
