On the afternoon of September 11 2001 the Irish Prime Minister (Taoiseach), Bertie Ahern ordered the?heads of the security services of key government departments? to undertake a complete re-evaluation of measures to protect the state from attack. Hence, underway within hours of the 9/11 outrage in the United States was potentially the most far-reaching review of Irish national security in decades. This book, the first major academic investigation of Irish national security policy as it has operated since 9/11, provides a theoretically informed analysis of that re-evaluation and the decisions.
