Meath senator called '95 times in one day' in horror stalking ordeal

Sharon Keogan who represents East Meath and Ashbourne also had her office petrol bombed by drug dealers, received death threats and had Garda protection for three months. And last night, as she slammed the growing attacks and abuse of Irish politicians, she vowed: “No one is going to shut me up.”
