The Taoiseach and Tánaiste have been made aware of a “troubling” US-based social media account which is targeting members of their families, the Sunday Independent can reveal.

The account on X has posted photographs of Simon Harris and Micheál Martin and identified relatives by name at the end of a significant week for foreign relations, in which Ireland formally recognised the state of Palestine.
