I am informed by the Garda authorities that any incident involving the receipt of abusive text messages on mobile telephones should immediately be brought to the attention of the Garda Síochána. I am assured that all such reports will be fully investigated to ascertain whether there is any breach of the criminal law on the basis of evidence collected during the investigation.
