Irish diplomat moved after loyalist threats
An Irish diplomat working in Belfast has been transferred to Dublin as a result of loyalist death threats.
Aine De Baroid, a senior official at the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, is involved in outreach work with loyalist communities.
She was moved out of Belfast after discussions with the PSNI who warned her that they believed that the threats made against her by the Ulster Defence Association were credible.
Ms De Baroid, originally from Cork, has now temporarily moved to Dublin and will continue her work from there.
