File on the case is due to be sent to the DPP who will decide whether to charge ex-senator

A Garda investigation into claims a news journalist was harassed via Twitter accounts controlled by former senator Eoghan Harris and his wife Gwen Halley has been completed.

While the Garda investigation, which involved interviewing the parties involved, is now complete and the file is to be sent to the DPP, it is unclear how long it will take before a direction is made about whether the Tweets are criminal in nature and whether to pursue charges or take no further action.

In defending claims that account posted tweets which were misogynistic, abusive and defamatory, he has claimed the posts were fair political comment.
