Taoiseach Simon Harris has said politics has become “more coarse, more divisive, and more dangerous” for elected representatives in recent years.

It comes after a bomb scare at Justice Minister Helen McEntee’s home last week, as well as protests outside the home of Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman.
