Cowen: Terror threat to Ireland is low
Taoiseach Brian Cowen has said that the threat to Ireland from al Qaida or other international terror groups is considered to be low.
Mr Cowen said Gardai continue to monitor the situation in the wake of the discovery of explosives in printer cartridges in air cargo, which he described as 'worrying developments'.
He told the Dáil we are guided by European rules and if an increase in security measures is needed, it will happen.
