New anti-terror security in place in Irish ports
The security arrangements estimated to cost between €5-10 million are aimed at preventing a terrorist strike on Ireland or the use of Irish ports for an attack on another country, such as the UK or the US.
"This is an anti-terrorist initiative to prevent either a direct hit on Ireland or the use of Ireland as a conduit to hit somewhere else, such as London, Rotterdam or New York, said Michael Harrington of Irish Security Consultants RMI.
