Harassment Targets Female Councillors | Waterford News

Eighty female councillors across the country are being targeted by disturbing, harassing phone calls from private numbers—many choose not to answer. Councillor Kate O’Mahoney from West Waterford says she’s receiving similar calls and believes it’s likely one person behind the attacks. She warns that such abuse, though rare, mustn’t deter women from public service, stressing that elected officials deserve to serve without fear. O’Mahoney plans to keep ignoring these calls, calling it unsafe to engage. This behavior is unacceptable and shouldn’t silence anyone committed to their communities.
