Councillor speaks out against bullying after receiving death threat

A Meath councillor has told of receiving personal death threats in an effort to encourage more people to speak out against bullying.

Independent councillor Joe Bonner says he has gone to the gardaí about the latest sinister threat in which he was told he was “dead”.

In a separate incident in recent months, he claims a rat was left at the door of his home with its throat cut.
