Ireland faces evolving terror threats including Islamist and far-right risks, report finds

Abdullah Khan, aged 24, has pleaded guilty to terrorism offences, assault, and arson.

Islamist terrorism is a “significant cause of concern” for Ireland — either because of possible attacks here or attacks planned here but carried out in a neighbouring country — Ireland's security oversight judge has said.

In his first report, the independent examiner of security legislation also said there are potential threats from extreme right-wing and extreme left-wing terrorism, as well as from the activities of hostile states.
