Limerick bomb find security response

Summary

The Deputy asked what protections would be put in place after bombs were found near a Russian-owned business in Limerick and other sites. The Taoiseach said An Garda Síochána would lead the investigation and that he could not comment further while the matter was under investigation.

What will the Government put in place after the recent bomb find in Limerick near Aughinish Alumina? This was near a Russian-owned business. Five bombs were found in Ireland - three in the South, two in the North. What will be done about looking at Russian-owned buildings and properties in this country to protect the Irish people in case somebody targets them, especially in Limerick, where this happened? People in Askeaton are frightened that something like this might happen again. What will the Government put in place to prevent this?

Comment on this

An Garda Síochána will be to the fore in examining this and the background to it. I cannot comment on the case. Perhaps it is still under investigation and, potentially, a follow-through on that. I will talk to the Deputy afterwards. I was not aware of the ownership there.
