There was no "event" as far as I can judge from the news so far today. Lots of vague talk about potential conspiracies and "up to 18 arrests" (can they not count or something)? Time will tell but cynical me says yet another attempt to whip up some hysteria about shadowy and possibly imaginary terrorist threats. Obviously terrorist threats do exist and incidents will happen but crying wolf doesn't contribute anything constructive to the situation. Don't forget the last London terror threat "incident" when no bomb was found and an innocent civilian was shot! And having to taste babies' bottles/food before boarding - I mean, come on....I just wonder how prepared we are in this country for such an event?
How prepared are we in our fight against terrorists.
It's been a while since the US or UK scared the bejaysus out of their citizens for a while, so something like this was bound to come along sooner or later.
Can't see what they would gain by doing this if they didn't believe their intelligence was legitimate?
The opeing question was "how prepared are we for a terrorist attack" rather than if this terror threat was for real.
It's also worth remembering how the terrorist plot to blow up the Sears Towers in Chicago a few months ago turned out.
The original post asked how prepared we might be for "such an event" and yet there is no evidence yet that there was any "event" at all so it's relevant to discuss this in my opinion.Can't see what they would gain by doing this if they didn't believe their intelligence was legitimate?

Yesterday morning at about 7.30am. three motorcycle gardai were escorting the Lord Mayors carriage being carried on the back of a lorry along the Stillorgan Dual carriageway. All traffic was stopped to allow this event take place.
It just concerns me that we might have terrorists in our midst and our gardai are wasting their time doing this sort of thing.

Our fight ?
