The disturbing video, which has been shared widely on social media, shows a man wearing a balaclava ranting about his support for the Coolock protests - before he goes on to make the threats
A chilling video has emerged of a masked man issuing threats towards the Garda Commissioner and declaring he will "shoot" Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald in an expletive-heavy rant.
Encouraging violence against Commissioner Drew Harris, he goads: "take that Drew Harris p**** as well, take his whole throat, lads, take Drew Harris's throat off him.", reports the Irish Mirror. An Garda Siochana has been informed about the video but declined to comment directly, stating: "An Garda Siochana does not comment on third-party material and videos circulating online, the contents of which cannot be verified".
