Gardaí monitor online posts of suspected jihadists living in Ireland

Thousands of social media posts of suspected Islamic extremists living in Ireland are being viewed every week, security sources have told the Irish Examiner.

Garda HQ is also reviewing security strategies in the wake of both the Nice truck massacre and the German train axe attack.

The revelations come as the head of Europol urged Ireland to modernise its interception laws to help tackle the threat of terrorism.
