A garda investigation is under way after two politicians said bags of excrement were thrown at them at a meeting in Galway yesterday evening.
Minister of State for Disability Anne Rabbitte and Fine Gael TD Ciaran Cannon posted about the incident on Twitter.
“All part of the job you might say, but I can understand why fewer people want this job,” Mr Cannon posted online.
In a statement, gardaí say they are “investigating all the circumstances relating to an incident that occurred at a public meeting in Gort” yesterday evening.
A number of politicians have expressed support for Minister Rabbitte and Mr Cannon on social media following the incident.
