The threat was issued in a statement read by a masked man at the unveiling of a monument last Saturday near the Fermanagh border, at Mullan in Co Cavan.
Mr Wilson said: I wish to condemn in the strongest possible terms the threat to DVA Staff issued by the South Fermanagh Command of the Continuity IRA.
DVA staff are actively involved in road safety and work with both the PSNI and Garda.
Given our current road safety record and the high percentage of the goods and bus fleet operating with serious defects I would have thought that staff would have been actively supported rather than targeted.
This threat is simply an attack on Road Safety, DVA staff who are ordinary people going about their work and it therefore puts the whole community at risk.”
