Government 'Concerned' Over ETA Terrorist
The Justice minister has told of his concern over the presence of a member of the Basque paramilitary group, ETA, in Ireland.
Dermot Ahern, said that Gardaí would give whatever support they could in the hunt for the man who is presently being sought by Interpol.
Mr Ahern said: "As far as I'm concerned and the Government is concerned, Ireland should not have terrorists, either indigenous or foreign, on our shores.
"If any request comes from any other country in relation to their own terrorists who are running around the world, we will cooperate as we always do.''
Jose Ignacio de Juana Chaos, who was released from jail in August, is believed to still be in Ireland, having applied for a passport at the Spanish Embassy in Dublin three weeks ago.
The 52-year-old, who is also known under his Basque name as Inaki de Juana Chaos, was sentenced to 3,000 years in prison for his part in 25 murders committed in the 1980s, and is now wanted for allegedly writing a letter of support on the day of his release for the Basque Separatist group ETA.
