O'Dea: Ireland no target for terror

THE Government has sought to reassure the public that the threat of a terrorist attack on Ireland remains low in the aftermath of yesterday's terrorist atrocity in central London.

Minister for Defence Willie O'Dea has convened a special meeting of the Government Task Force on Emergency Planning for next Wednesday in response to the bomb explosions in Britain.

However, Mr O'Dea reassured people that the perceived threat of Ireland becoming a target for terrorists remained unchanged, despite yesterday's events.
