It is “absolutely essential” that staffing at a specialist Garda unit tasked with assessing intelligence on the financing of terrorism is increased, Fianna Fáil has said.

The party’s justice spokesman, Jim O’Callaghan, was responding to an article in the Irish Examiner which revealed that only two gardaí were attached to the Terrorist Financing Intelligence Unit.
