Ireland ‘not weak link’ in global terror fight

There is no reason to view Ireland as a “weak link” in the fight against international terrorism, the head of Interpol has said.

Secretary general Jurgen Stock said Ireland was a “strong contributor” to the police organisation’s global network against terrorism and serious crime.

Interpol, which boasts 192 member countries, assists in the analysis and sharing of information, intelligence and expertise in the areas of terrorism, organised crime and cybercrime.
