Episode Details

Female councillors across Ireland are being targeted with disturbing, coordinated harassment—sexualized phone calls that appear to single out women in local government. The Association of Irish Local Government has issued urgent safety alerts to 959 female councillors, urging them to avoid engaging with withheld numbers and to report incidents to Gardaí. While male councillors remain unaffected, the pattern suggests a deliberate, gender-based campaign undermining democracy. The AILG is also asking the public to use respectful communication methods like voicemails or emails to protect councillors’ safety, while reaffirming that most public interactions remain positive and encouraging women to pursue public service.
