Two primary school children in Dublin have been formally notified by gardai they're under threat.

It's related to a feud in the south inner city.

The form is normally given to a person when gardai believe there's a threat to their safety and they need security advice.

The Irish Independent reports the forms were issued after two anonymous phone calls were made to their school in recent weeks, warning they were to be targeted.
