Cabinet to hear of real threat from terrorist activity

Minister for Justice Helen McEntee will seek Government approval for the renewal of provisions of the Offences Against the State Act 1998 and the Criminal Justice Act 2009, for a further period of 12 months beginning on 30 June.

She also considers that there remains a substantial threat from serious organised crime in the State, particularly from criminal gangs - some with significant international links - who are engaged in the trafficking of drugs and firearms, as well as in other serious crimes, and who are prepared to commit murder.

Those who fail to engage with these supports or who are not making a genuine attempt to find a job will see their payments reduced.
