The member of An Garda Siochana had been attending a meeting held by Tusla.

An "emotionally charged" father, who promised to kill a garda child protection officer as his children were taken into care, has been given a six-month jail sentence.

The man, who is in his mid-twenties, pleaded guilty to a charge under the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, for threatening to kill or cause serious harm.
