Threats and intimidation of Tusla staff a 'matter of  concern'

Tusla CEO Bernard Gloster has spoken of 'increasing threats and intimidation of individual staff'.

Tusla has said it is concerned about possible "under-reporting" of allegations of threats or intimidation towards its staff, including social workers.

Last December, it emerged that death threats, having their children’s photos posted online with offensive comments, and one worker’s entire holiday plans being leaked with suggestions of protests against them were examples of online abuse that had been directed at Tusla staff.
