Gardai are investigating a series of death threats against the Mayor of Galway and his family.
Mike Cubbard says he is temporarily stepping back from public life – after revealing that he has been the target of a series of anonymous death threats against him and his family.
Cllr Mike Cubbard said that the continuous abuse – by post and on social media – has caused him to reconsider why he should continue in political office at all.
In an interview with Midwest News this lunchtime Mayor Cubbard has spoken openly about the targeted abuse he has received over the last 18 months.
