Man released in Irish PM bomb threat investigation

The family home of Simon Harris was searched after a bomb threat in June

A man who was arrested in connection with a bomb threat made on the home of the Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Simon Harris has been released from custody.

No device was found during a search of Mr Harris' family home in County Wicklow just over six weeks ago.

Officers were alerted after a charity received details of the threat in a phone call on 26 June.

The man, who is in his 50s, was detained on Friday but has since been released without charge.

A police spokeswoman said a file will now be prepared for the director of public prosecutions.
