Mr. Justin Kelly:

I thank Deputy Gannon for the question. We have made considerable advances around our online activity and the groups he has spoken about. The particular group we are interested in targeting is people who are involved in violent political extremism, in whatever form that takes. We have made considerable investment in ICT to help us around online activity. We do that in two different ways. While we will obviously talk about the operating model later, one of the things we have done is we have uplifted the abilities of our regional people in this regard. If there is a protest in Cork, Galway or wherever else, we have given them the technology and training to look at that activity ahead of what we anticipate to be problematic areas. Centrally, we have our Garda national security intelligence section. It will focus, both on a regional and national basis, on those groups we are more interested in, which are working on a national level, some of which have international contacts. To answer the Deputy’s specific question, the far right is of huge concern to us. We have dedicated officers in the special detective unit and the counterterrorism operational unit who solely focus on this area.
