Apparently they know they don’t face a whole lot of law enforcement pushback there. The Republic of Ireland “does not have wide powers to detain ISIS extremist suspects who return to Ireland from abroad.”
What could possibly go wrong?
“Isis views Ireland as ‘somewhere to fundraise rather than attack,'” The Journal, October 2, 2019:
THE ISLAMIC STATE terrorist group views Ireland as somewhere to fundraise rather than target for a terrorist attack, according to a new report.
Researchers spoke to Irish security sources for the report, which explores jihadist extremism in 10 European countries.
There are an estimated five people serving prison sentences in Ireland for convictions related to Islamist extremism offences. Security sources said these convictions relate to funding terrorism, rather than active engagement in terrorist plots.
“This reinforces other evidence which suggests that ISIS (Islamic State) and its affiliates regard the Republic of Ireland as a target for criminal exploitation for fundraising, as opposed to a target for a terrorist attack,” the report notes.
Ian Acheson, a security expert based in the UK, wrote the chapter about Ireland. He states there is “little evidence yet to indicate any direct cooperation between Irish-born or -based Islamist extremists and dissident extremists or OCGs (organised crime gangs)”.
However, he said “transnational terrorism” operating within the Republic of Ireland still “poses a real risk”.
“Given the convergence of interests and tactical opportunities and the strong historical cooperation of such groups in a domestic context, the possibility of that extending to jihadist groups cannot be discounted,” Acheson states.
He notes that, according to interviews with senior Irish security sources, the Republic of Ireland “does not have wide powers to detain ISIS extremist suspects who return to Ireland from abroad”….

Maybe Sinead O’Connor will do a concert for terrorism … even though such singing with instrumental accompaniment would be ‘HARAM’.
– “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a SONGSTRESS.”
– “Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.”
– “This community will experience the SWALLOWIN UP of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into ANIMALS, and being RAINED UPON with STONES.” Someone asked, “When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?” and he said, “When SONGSTRESSES and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful.”

So on that basis any muslims caught listening to her singing will be punished.
Thank God I’m an infidel…….I can listen to any music I want…..
Someday she will wake up and realize the terrible mistake she made in converting to a cult that..

2}Has no concept of “LOVE thy neighbor”{allah missed the 2nd chief commandment didn;t he?}:No Golden Rule.
3}Is antisocial
“Oh ye who believe!take not the Jews and Christians for friends”
k5:51
4}Has a Doctrine of HATE {al walaa wal baraa} towards ALL non -muslims{Jews especially,Christians,Buddhists,Hindus,Sikhs etc}

6}That insists women wear a hijab..in honor of a god who knows LESS Biology than any modern woman{See the “Scientific mistakes in the quran” on You Tube}

What could possibly go wrong?
You’ve asked this many times before, and usually things do go wrong. As a daily consumer of Islamo News, I suggest we pose a new question: What could possibly go right?

Jihadists have been granted a sort of reserve status in which they can suspend the mass murder game for a bit and lead the good life in Infidelia. In a kind of legal deal with global Jihadists, the Infidels unintentionally acknowledge that Islam is evil by a truce without saying what is is (mass murder) or why it must be suspended (mass murder is bad for business).
Dawne Swift says
The Irish have quite a history with terrorism, not only the provisionals fight against the British in Northern Ireland, but also their gun running and funding to the Bader Meinhoff and the Basque Separatists. I think if you dig deep enough you’ll find they have links with Islamic jihadis. There’s money to be made in chaos in other countries.
Christopher Watson says
They would probably be a little careful in Ireland. After all the IRA are probably as violent as they are and things are reasonably quiet.

They aren’t new to Jihad, either–Ireland has, sadly, been involved with “Palestinian” terrorism at times.
Janice Mermikli says
True.

To “Dawne Swift”: Good point.
Angemon says
For the time being…
gravenimage says
Indeed, for the time being. The Irish as still Infidels, no matter how sympathetic to Islamic thugs, and they will all have to submit or die.
sheliak says
After 800 years of tenacious resistance to British colonialism the Irish invite in 21st century invaders more barbarous than any English army of the middle ages. Heartbreakingly sad and a tragic ending for the Irish nation.
Adam says
Like the sun setting at the end of a long beautiful day, we Irish will always cut off our nose to spite our face.
Dumb as the rock on which we live and just as tough.
Ill drink to that and a round for my lads as well.
UNCLE VLADDI says
What with green being “Allah’s colour” and their penchant for reddening their beards with henna so they look like inbred leprechauns (but I repeat my self) muslim jihadis will blend right in with the native Irish fer sure!
