Gardaí detained a suspect from central Europe alongside an Irish far‑right figure during a cross‑border terrorism investigation. Gardaí are investigating whether the foreign national arrested in the anti‑terror operation had been recruited by right‑wing extremists to act as a 'gun for hire'. Investigators are probing whether the arrests prevented a potential attack directed at a minority group. Authorities described the arrests as highly significant. The investigation focuses on recruitment dynamics, cross‑border links and whether operational planning or intent to target a minority was disrupted by the detentions.
