Leitrim TD Martin Kenny has thanked the public for cards and messages of support following an incident at his home last month.
A 49-year-old man appeared in court earlier this month after a vehicle drove through the gates of the home of the Sinn Fein TD on September 29th.
He was charged with one incident of criminal damage and one count of dangerous driving and is due back in court next week.
The TD described the incident as very traumatic for his family as his wife was at home on her own at the time.
Speaking on the Joe Finnegan show, the TD says the family are trying to move on but the support from the public has been overwhelming
"It was very difficult but the emergency services came within 15 minutes. We had the fire brigade from Ballinamore, the gardaí and the ambulance all did a magnificent job in sorting out the situation. We'll get over it and we'll get on with life because that's what you have to do, you have to pull yourself together. I also want to thank the hundreds of people who sent text messages and messages of support for their support throughout that difficult period. It's in the past now and it's forward we need to move".
