A Fine Gael councillor called to a Limerick pensioner's home at night to confront him over a social media post and then later threatened to go to gardaí about it. Mr Roche criticised Mr Galvin and Mr O'Donovan on Facebook on January 15 - the day after the general election was called - and said he would not be voting Fine Gael. On January 16 last, the night after Mr Roche posted on Facebook, Mrs Roche (66) said Mr Galvin called unannounced to their home at around 8.30pm. Not wishing to speak to him, she began to close the door when he asked to speak with Mr Roche. He said he had not issued a solicitor's letter to Mr Roche in relation to the Facebook post, which is still online.
