Calls have been made to provide all members of the Oireachtas with personal panic buttons amid growing concerns for politicians and their staff.

It comes after Justice Minister Helen McEntee received a hoax bomb threat on her family home and protests have been mounted outside the homes of Taoiseach Simon Harris and Integration Minister Roderic O'Gorman in recent weeks.
