This morning the Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan has said a number of suspected jihadists are being monitored within Ireland.
He said Ireland did "not have a special exemption" from the sort of attacks seen in Paris.
Mr Flanagan said: "We are vigilant. We are engaging with our European partners in intelligence gathering.
"Our Garda Siochána are very active. There are a small number of people in Ireland whose behaviour and activites are being monitored and will continue to be monitored."
It comes after French police mounted scores of raids across the country under heightened security since Friday’s attacks.
The French Prime Minister, Manuel Valls, has warned that new terror attacks are being planned in France, and other European countries.
