Tanaiste Leo Varadkar has been forced to move from his home due to continued threats.
The Fine Gael leader and his partner Matthew Barrett have been forced to leave the Castleknock home over a series of death threats issued to the former Taoiseach.
He had already been under constant armed garda protection due to the ongoing danger with more protection on hand than Taoiseach Micheal Martin.
The couple have now been moved to a more secure location in the capital the Sunday Independent reports.
It comes as police in Northern Ireland investigate the latest graffiti threat against Leo Varadkar in Belfast last month.
The Tanaiste's address was daubed on a wall at the junction of the Newtownards Road and Belvoir Street.
Mr Varadkar's name and address were daubed beside a loyalist mural depicting two gunmen and the words: "The prevention of the erosion of our identity is now our priority. East Belfast Battalion."
It also features various loyalist logos, including that of the UVF.
In January, sinister graffiti targeting Mr Varadkar also appeared in the Belvoir area of south Belfast warning the Tanaiste not to cross the Irish border.
That daubing was condemned by politicians from across the political divide in the region.
The update comes as Varadkar awaits the outcome of a criminal investigation into his leaking of a confidential Government agreement with GPs.
The document he leaked was marked: “confidential, not for circulation,” but Mr Varadkar gave it to a friend of his, Dr Maitiu O Tuaithail, head of the NAGP (National Association of General Practitioners), before it was fully signed-off.
Mr O Tuaithail’s now-defunct NAGP was a rival organisation of the IMO (Irish Medical Organisation) who were the sole negotiators of the massive contract with the Government at the time.
