Is this harassment?

rawn

My estranged older brother won't stop contacting me. He calls on private numbers, even though I won't answer. He leaves voicemails. He sends texts from various numbers, messages me on Facebook (I've blocked him but he can still send them). He sends messages on viber and whatsapp. I block him every time but he crops up again with new numbers and accounts. His latest voicemail says that he'll keep it up every day no matter what. I don't usually respond but today I did, to tell him to eff off. I have no interest in ever speaking to him. I'm 38 weeks pregnant and the stress is really getting to me. The nature of the messages to me isn't threatening though, but he has in the past sent messages of a threatening nature to my dad. But not to me. My question is, legally, can the Gardai stop him contacting me, or does it have to be threatening in nature to be harassment?

Have a read of this and then contact your nearest Garda station. Keep all the messages and have any other affected people make a complaint also. For want of a better term, the more the merrier.
