"Anonymous cowards" who threatened gardaí during the fuel protests may soon be prosecuted, with incident rooms now set up across the country to investigate threats made during the fuel protests.

Four incident rooms are being established – one in every region – led by a senior investigating officer to investigate the “appalling behaviour,” Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly said.
