Female councillors across Ireland are still receiving harassing phone calls more than a week after the disturbing campaign first came to light, according to local media. The disturbing trend has sparked concern among local officials and community leaders. A garda investigation is currently underway to determine the source and scope of the calls.

The harassment, which includes threatening messages and unwanted contact, has been reported by multiple female councillors in different regions. The calls have created a sense of fear and discomfort among those involved. Local authorities are urging victims to report any incidents and are working closely with the police to address the issue.

Authorities have not yet identified the individuals behind the campaign, but they are actively pursuing leads. The situation highlights ongoing challenges faced by women in local politics, particularly in maintaining safety and security. The continued nature of the harassment underscores the need for stronger support systems and protection measures for female officials.

Sources say the calls have not only affected the councillors personally but have also impacted their ability to perform their duties effectively. The community is now calling for greater awareness and action to ensure the safety of all public officials.
