It isn't. Neither is Europol. He probably watched too many Bond movies.

A huge amount of anti terrorism data comes from the UK. Europe has nothing like GCHQ. The attacks in France & the total inability to see the threat from Belgium shows how the intelligence is ineffectual.

The Guards would of been given the names & addresses. GCHQ have probably been monitoring them for quite a while & only asked for arrests because they thought that something was imminent.

Or the UK told the Guards, maybe asked for surveillance & they decided to arrest against advice. So now they are out on bail & can flee.

The Terrorism Offence Act 2015 created three new offences of:

Public provocation to commit a terrorist offence
Recruitment for terrorism
Training for terrorism

These offences can carry sentences of up to 10 years imprisonment.

That's a vivid imagination you have there, fair play to you.

I get that. But that doesn't change the fact that it says nothing about wether they were charged with anything and what that anything is. Some people seem to miss those minor details when reading newspaper articles. Just pointing that out to the 'hang them now and hang them higher' brigade.

can't be done as it's against due process. the special criminal court deprives them of a proper jury trial, and it's our job to interrogate them in a fair and just manner to insure any information is accurate.

can't be done, it's against their human rights and it's asalt and breaks international law.

Fair and just manner? Human rights? What about everyone else's human rights not to be killed by terrorists, or the reasonable expectation of safety? Those ****ets should be shot on sight

And what do they do if they get the wrong person, mistaken identity etc?

And on the water boarding suggestion the other poster made, sure that's great. You can get so much information out of them that they'll tell you all about their secret relationship with Elvis and what the winning lotto numbers for the draw 5 months from now are just to get you to stop. Almost as if they'll say whatever you tell them, rather than whatever they know, to get you go stop... almost as if intelligence agencies widely agree that torture is ineffective for that reason among others.

As for the gardai, great job by them and great to see such swift action and keeping on top of things.

Well done to the Gardai and they should pay no attention to the naysayers.

None of them would be able to do the job, they'd fall at the first hurdle.

The_Kew_Tour

While its good to see them starting to catch 2 or 3, they still have more to try and get aswell.

Back in end of 2014 they were monitoring 300, can only imagine that figure is much more now.

That's hardly the fault of the Gardai. That's the fault of a judicial system seriously in need of an overhaul.

Reality? GCHQ is the largest and most powerful electronic surveillance installation in Europe and feeds information to Uk Police, MI5, MI6, the USA and to NATO/Interpol. Or do you think that radar pod in Baldonnell the aircorps use is secretly monitoring electronic traffic in Ireland and "we don't need anyone".

Under UN law, it's illegal to make someone stateless. Citizenship, for me, is very straight forward. You commit a serious offence, you're gone, even if you have kids and your wife was born here. Stop them from further contaminating the gene pool.

At least we wouldnt stitch up a colleague as being a paedophile because he made a complaint.

Irish law around containing terrorism is actually pretty draconian and developed by comparison to much of Europe due to the history of "the troubles".

The key issue here is ensuring we have good intelligence.

Considering what happened in Sweden - a country that has no involvement in the middle east, isn't even in NATO and is very peace loving, it's fairly important we aren't complainant.

It doesn't matter what they did the Ministry of Information has branded them Terrorists therefore they are to be tortured and deported. Or deported and tortured. Whichever helps the proles easysleep at night.

You want to let them go if they're not originally Irish, with what basically amounts to a slap on the wrist.

I don't want to, but if they're in the country illegally then what's the legal / constitutional position on sending them to jail here? Is it allowed?

We all critisize the Gardai, sometimes justified and I'm probably one of the first to do it, but they deserve credit where it's due. Fair play to them for it today.

Yes they have issues still. But I agree that this is good work; as is the progress against the two Dublin criminal families.

Any chance we could get them on blasphemy charges?

it is allowed. why would it not be? at the end of their sentence they would be deported.

Mr.Micro

The outrage over an alleged terrorist threat and the proposed solutions. The irony is beyond measure.

Common sense. It would be very unlikely the Gardai would be aware of a threat that the UK didn't know about.

"Up to ten years in prison" wow, that will deter them...

I've always wondered about the logic behind terror plot sentencing in the UK and Europe- giving someone who was prepared to commit suicide, usually in his 20's, to advance the politics of a sky fairy, a sentence whereby they will be released relatively young. He is violent and deranged enough when he is in his 20's, what will he be like getting released in 20 year with no job prospects, minimal chance of starting a family, essentially nothing to live for. Do like the US, life without parole unless they have given some very helpful states evidence.

Well done to the guards for whatever they did or didn't do in this extremely vague story. And I'm glad two innocent men were released or the terrorist bastards should be shot.
