Gardaí are to prepare a file for the Director of Public Prosecutions on a prisoner suspected of making a bomb threat against Minister for Justice Helen McEntee.
The man, who is serving a lengthy prison sentence for a violent rape several years ago, was arrested in the Midlands Prison late last month and taken to Portlaoise Garda station for questioning.
On March 7th, a man rang the Samaritans helpline and made a bomb threat against Ms McEntee at her Co Meath home. Officers from the Special Detective Unit quickly established the threat was a hoax, and an investigation was launched by gardaí in Co Meath.
