Terror threat moved to substantial

hotmail.com

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has reportedly told Helen McEntee that he has increased the terror threat level from moderate to substantial, meaning some kind of terrorist attack is now likely in Ireland. Can the Gardai deal with such an event?

It'll be the governments fault. They have failed is utterly when it comes to allowing anyone and everyone enter the country. We need to shut the borders now to none eu citizens.

Did you read the article? Drew Harris suggests the threat may be from violent political extremists, our own home grown goons with the Gardai saying an attack is possible but not likely.

The home grown goons are created by the governments policy on migration.

I don't think your solution is very practical.

The UK including Northern Ireland is not in the EU.

Also the HSE is heavily dependent on nurses and doctors from many non EU countries.

They are vetted.

Stupid, dumb, reactive migration policy by the government and they wonder why **** happens. They are going to try and isolate anyone with a counter opinion further, and that's going to make people more angry. They need to listen to the people.

But their families are not.

A blanket ban on people from outside the EU is impractical and won't guarantee anything.

The recent incident with one wacko ramming through the gates of a load of official buildings in one night suggests we're well primed to get caught with our pants down should a terrorist incident occur.

Personal responsibility need not apply, “ah they made be bomb those children, I had no other choice.”

Pitiful argument.

cute geoge

What I can not understand at all is why ordinary people are turning a blind eye to our migration problems ,It is quiet bizarre our government refugee policy is effecting our sandard of living and very few besides Derek Blighe and a few others create any fuss about this topic!!

They are not turning a blind eye. They are afraid to open their mouths because the state will brand them racist. It is openly said in conversation but nobody will protest because the papers will and have published your name, address and employer.

I think "Home Grown Goons" = Concerned Parents .

And Garda Commissioner Drew Harris,, needs to get out more..

The article did not specify only home grown. The Taoiseach said we are not immune from threats from extremism or terrorism, domestic or international.

What’s wrong with being branded racist, if you are?

They should be proud of their stance.

Because we are well informed enough to know that there is no immigrant bogey man.

We are well informed enough to know that the problems our country has are more complex than that.

We are well informed enough to know that stopping all non EU immigration will not magically solve the situation.

We are well informed enough to know that you can't make a decision on an asylum seeker claim in a couple of days.

We are well informed enough to know that the housing issue has as much to do with governments reaction to the last crash as anything else.

We are well informed enough to know that we are still a very well off country and a very well off population.

We were a rich country with a well off population just before the IMF came after the last crash.

If well informed means subjected to extensive government propaganda then we are indeed well informed.

We have a free and diverse media.

If you want to be well informed there are multiple sources of information.

Point proven really, just because people are concerned about the immigration policy and having uncontrolled numbers coming in, doesn't make them racist, yet straight away people throw out the slur.

But back on topic, everything that is happening is being manipulated by the government and garda commissioner. The government want to clamp down on X, free speech and drive through the hate speech bill, the commissioner wants to rule by force and threat of the baton. We are loosing the country we once knew and nobody in power is shouting stop.

They're obsessed with the far right bogeyman yet won't admit the problems we are importing into the country. So blinded by the pc world we live in, they'll brush over any connections with recent well publicised attacks.

Strange that 2 days after an attack which is reported to be of a certain style, a leaked reports comes out to imply the threat is actually the opposite side. We're absoluty being played.

Ehhh...

How wrong can this thread title be? Does everything have to be scaremongering?

From the article the OP posted:

"The overall security threat remains unchanged at moderate," added the Department statement."

And moderate means (again from the same article)

In a statement, gardaí said it deems the overall national threat level to be moderate - this means that a terrorist attack is possible but not likely.

In the run up to the crash we had an economy that depended in large part on on receipts from the building, sale and purchase of property…all inflated by gombeen politicians, yes men, media etc etc

We had a bubble and a badly mismanaged economy very exposed to one sector before the IMF came....one could argue we still do ...although not as concentrated in that particular area.

If we were well off it was a risky kind of based on paper well off.....it wasn't even a new money type of well off.... it was gobshite gets lucky in a three shell game while the grifters line up a bigger score kind of rich.

Gardai have been dealing with terrorists since the formation of the state. Domestic terrorists are nothing new to them.

What do you think is happening now. Billions being given elites in the country to house unknowns and the worlds poor. Do you think that sounds better.

Whataboutery.

AGS will know the whereabouts of convicted rapists and pedos. Do they have that info available for syrians or africans? No.

If they're in IPAS accommodation they collect a payment, to collect a payment you need an address , that means their whereabouts are known.

And their backgrounds? Are they vetted?

Its not a stretch to think that we are getting the dregs from other countries.

Doctors and engineers lol.
