A female garda subjected to a torrent of misogynistic and homophobic abuse by a male anti-migrant agitator in south Dublin has been receiving support from her colleagues and management, Garda HQ has said.

The man who recorded his tirade and uploaded it to social media is the subject of a Garda investigation to determine if a criminal offence has been committed.
