A man has been charged following an alleged assault on two women during canvassing for Catherine Connolly in north Dublin.
He is due to appear in court tomorrow morning.
The alleged assault occurred in North Strand Road as Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald joined the canvass.
A video posted online appears to show a man approaching a canvass team for Ms Connolly and shouting threats to “deck” and “slap” some of them.
It was reported to gardaí that two women had been assaulted in North Strand Road shortly before 4pm on Friday.
They did not require medical treatment at the scene but gardaí said they understand one of the females has since attended the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital for further assessment.
