Are public figures always at risk of threats?
Description
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”.
Is this harassment and abuse completely out of line, or are public figures always at risk of threats?
