The Longford-Westmeath TD is making the point after online abuse against party leader Simon Harris.

Longford-Westmeath rep Micheal Carrigy feels it's needed after a series of online abuse against party leader and Tanaiste Simon Harris threatening his family.
A third threat was made over the weekend, as the party starts its annual think in event in Mullingar.
Deputy Carrigy says suspended sentencing is not good enough:
