A phone call, using a code-word, was made claiming a device had been planted at Simon Harris's house.

A bomb threat at the Taoiseach's home in Wicklow is being treated as a sinister hoax.

A phone call, using a code-word, was made to the Samaritan's helpline yesterday evening claiming a device had been planted at Simon Harris's house. However, nothing was found during a follow up search of the property.

Robin Schiller from the Irish Independent says the Taoiseach's family was at home at the time: "The Taoiseach wasn't at home at the time; he was in the business in the Dáil but, his family including his two young children were at home at the time and I can only imagine it was a frightening experience for them to have Gardaí show up and tell them there could potentially be a bomb in the home," Robin Schiller told Northern Sound, "Thankfully, a search was carried out, no devices found and the matter is being treated as a sinister hoax and is being investigated by gardaí."
