The Liberal has learned this evening that a man has been arrested by gardai outside Malachy Steenson’s campaign headquarters in Dublin after he allegedly claimed he was intent on causing harm to the newly elected Councillor.
We understand that the man was allegedly attempting to petrol bomb the property but thankfully was intercepted by gardai after a tip off.
The Liberal will have further updates on this shocking situation as it unfolds but we can confirm that we have spoken to Malachy Steenson by phone who told us that himself, his family and team are all thankfully unharmed and are safe.
This story is developing.
