A man has been arrested in relation to online threats made against Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Simon Harris.
Gardaí (Irish police) arrested the man on Sunday morning.
He is currently detained at a Garda station in the north western region.
A number of garda investigations into threats made against the Taoiseach and his family have been carried out in the past three months.
On Friday, a man in his 50s was arrested in connection with a bomb threat made on the home of Mr Harris.
He has since been released without charge.
Another threat, mentioning knives, was made against the Taoiseach on Instagram last weekend.
Reacting to the threat earlier this week, Mr Harris said he would not be deterred from doing his job.
