A Clare TD has said he will not be “bullied” from doing his work after receiving messages on social media branding him a paedophile and threatening that he will be hanged outside his home.

Fianna Fáil’s Cathal Crowe says he will be making a report to gardaí this weekend in relation to the threats through social media, from a person he knows.
