Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald says she has reported a potential threat to her life to Gardai.
A video shared online shows a man in a balaclava making death threats towards her and Garda Commissioner Drew Harris.
In a tweet, Ms McDonald says the video represents an escalation of the targeted abuse directed at her over the last year and is totally unacceptable.
In a statement, Gardaí say they don’t comment on third party material and videos circulating online, the contents of which cannot be verified.
