Picture of the letter. The Irish Catholic columnist and Director of the Iona Institute David Quinn has received a threatening letter containing a white powder substance claiming to be Anthrax.
Gardai were called and the building on Merrion Square where Iona have offices was evacuated. The letter seen by The Irish Catholic newspaper was sent to the Iona Institute and said “Happy Anthrax Mr. David Quinn and Bitch O’Brien”, disparagingly referring to Breda O’Brien, another Irish Catholic columnist, teacher and mother.
