Tánaiste Simon Harris spoke with Newstalk Breakfast this morning on how he is dealing with threats towards his family. It comes after three bomb threats were made to the Fine Gael leader’s home over the weekend…

Despite the ongoing threats towards his family, Harris is still showing up to work and is “trying his best to get on with his job”.

Joining Andrea to discuss is Martin Kenny Sinn Féin Justice Spokesperson & TD for Sligo/Leitrim, Mick Clifford Special Correspondent with The Irish Examiner, Stephen Breen, Crime Editor with The Irish Sun,Journalist Aoife Grace Moore, Social Media Content Creator Charlene Murphy and Fine Gael TD Barry Ward.
