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.

Ms De Baroid, originally from Cork, has now temporarily moved to Dublin and will continue her work from there.
