A Draft White Paper on defence policy outlines main security threats over the next 10 years. Authorities in Ireland are concerned about the threat of ‘lone wolf’ terrorists. This is repeated further down the article.The document details security concerns to which the country is or could be exposed, including cyber-attacks, the emergence of domestic terrorism and the risks of organised crime. The paper which went before Cabinet on Tuesday says the emergence of extremist groups in Syria, Iraq and Libya are playing a major part in the evolution of terrorist threats. There is also concern regarding the process of radicalisation through a range of influences, including the internet. In addition, Ireland has a responsibility to seek to prevent transnational terrorist groups from using the State as a refuge or as a base from which to direct their activities against targets in other countries.
