High visibility garda patrols will continue over the coming days in the areas surrounding all 42 primary schools in Co Carlow.<\/p>\n
It comes after 20 of those schools received a threatening email at around 7am yesterday, with 10 schools deciding to close.<\/p>\n
The email included details of a threat and a picture of three guns.<\/p>\n
The picture is a stock image that can be widely found online.<\/p>\n
It is understood that one line of inquiry that garda\u00ed are following is that the email may have been sent to the schools by a group that deliberately sets out to create a large-scale policing response through the spreading of false threats and misinformation.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed said the threatening email was believed to have been routed through another country and that the credibility of the message was still being investigated.<\/p>\n
The garda patrols at the schools began yesterday following the threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"High visibility garda patrols will continue over the coming days in the areas surrounding all 42 primary schools…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471030,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-471029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471030"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
