"In this regard Inter-agency training and close co-operation between the Defence Forces and An Garda Síochána is ongoing."

This means that the Irish soldiers will work alongside the Emergency and Armed Support Units.

They will be the first responders on the scene in the event of an attack in Ireland.

This follows recent efforts by the Gardaí and the Dublin Fire Brigade to extend their training exercises.

Earlier this month we reported on the disappearance of Linda Christian, a 29-year-old woman who went missing in the Blanchardstown area of west Dublin.

Tragically, Linda's remains were found in Coolmines Woods on Monday of this week after the Divisional Search Team conducted a planned search.

It is understood that the discovery was made in an area of undergrowth between Clonsilla Road and Snugborough Road shortly after 2pm.

Gardaí are currently in the process of carrying out inquiries in relation to Linda's disappearance and subsequent death, and are appealing to the public, particularly to anyone who drives through Snugborough Road, to come forward with any information they may have pertaining to the case.

Today marks one month since the 29-year-old, who was described by her family as 'vulnerable', disappeared.

Following the discovery of Linda's remains at the beginning of the week, her sister Nikki paid tribute to her online, writing, "Linda, you came to us with only a crawl, a small bundle of joy to all."

"You filled our lives with happiness & laughter mixed with heartache and anger. We used to joke and talk, about how you would throw a wobbler and have everyone in wonder."

"Through thick and thin I was always there to show you how I care. But life has not been fair to you dear sis. Born with a predestined illness that took hold and made you act out so bold."

"You drifted in and out but we're always welcome. But today your in heaven with our dad watching down on us watching over mam."

Gardaí have revealed they will deploy specialist 'terrorist spotting' teams for U2's performance at Croke park on July 22.

The officers will be dressed in plain clothes and will be on the look out for potential threats or risky behaviour, a task they also undertook during Prince Charles' Dublin visit last month.

The move, which was confirmed by Inspector Anthony Gallagher today, comes following the attack which killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester last month.

Speaking to the Irish Sun, Inspector Gallagher said, “Our planning for major events is very robust and we are constantly looking at new developments, trends and threats. Our spotters will have the freedom to observe what’s around them and report back any suspicious activity.”

“We will have an adequate number of spotters to identify a number of risks and this will be their only role on the day.”

He added, “It’s important the general public know that we have confidence in our plans.”

He also revealed that similar 'spotters' will be on duty during major GAA matches and other large scale events taking place this summer.

A Gardaí investigation into allegedly blasphemous comments made by Stephen Fry has been dropped after Gardaí found that there were not enough people 'outraged' by the remarks. 

According to a controversial Irish law, it is blasphemous to be or say things 'grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters sacred to any religion,  thereby intentionally causing outrage among a substantial number of adherents of that religion.'

It is understood that the probe into Stephen Fry's comments on The Meaning of Life in 2015 have been dropped as Gardaí can find no injured party. 

'This man was simply a witness and not an injured party,' a source told The Irish Independent  

'Gardaí were unable to find a substantial number of outraged people.'

'For this reason the investigation has been concluded.'

The man who reported the blasphemy to the Gardaí told the Irish Independent: 'I did my civic duty in reporting it.'

'The guards did their duty in investigating it. I am satisfied with the result and I don't want to comment further.'

Hozier has since weighed in on the controversy, suggesting that people report his hit song Take Me To Church, as it is 'not about going to church.'

Imagine going about your daily business and coming across a little lost piglet!

Well, that's what Gardaí from Greystones found yesterday while they were out on patrol.

The officers found the piglet in the Kilcoole area yesterday and took to social media to see if he looked familiar to anyone.

The FB post said, "Suspicion 'He was on his way to the Market (sic)'."

After a trip to the vet, Ziggy the piggy was reunited with his owners by 7pm, and if this story doesn't put a smile on your face today, nothing will.

How CUTE.
