279. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if his Department has had the need to contact An Garda Síochána due to verbal, written (including electronically) or physical threats being addressed to staff or Ministers, at any level, working within the Department during the period 2020 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department has found it necessary to contact An Garda Síochána in the context specified in her Question. I would emphasise that such instances tend to be very isolated but the health, safety and welfare of those working in the Department to provide a public service is a key priority and, therefore, any such instances are treated with the utmost seriousness.
