I will 'never be deterred,' says Taoiseach, as gardaí investigate latest online threats

Simon Harris said: 'There can be no hiding place for anyone seeking to threaten, attack or harm people or to incite others to do so.'

Taoiseach Simon Harris said that he does not believe it is acceptable that politicians have become 'a regular target'.

Taoiseach Simon Harris has said that he will “never be deterred”, despite threats against him and his family on social media over the weekend.

Gardaí confirmed earlier on Tuesday that an investigation has been launched into threats against Mr Harris that were posted on Instagram in recent days.
