The FAI and the PFA have condemned the latest social media threats aimed at senior Irish international James McClean.
McClean and his wife Erin revealed a selection of the online abuse his family has received in recent times, one which was a threat to burn down his house.
Both associations offered James and his family their full support at this difficult time.
FAI CEO Jonathan Hill said: “The FAI remains committed to safeguarding all of our players against any form of abuse on any social media platform. To abuse or threaten James or any player because of his nationality should not be tolerated by society. Unfortunately, such behaviour is all too common now on social media.
James McClean s wife Erin has opened up on the impact of abuse directed at her husband, admitting that she once watched a match in fear after an anonymous person said they would be bringing a gun to the game.
The Ireland international has been active on social media in recent days, highlighting what he believes to be a soft attitude towards vitriolic and threatening messages aimed his way.
He was speaking in response to what appears to be a stronger stance taken by social media companies towards insults - be they racist or otherwise - sent to footballers via Instagram, Twitter or other forums.
