Security Situation
- Question
- What recent assessment he has made of the activities of dissident republicans in Northern Ireland.
- Answer
-
The threat level in Northern Ireland remains at "severe". The Government are not complacent about the threat that dissident republicans continue to pose despite their having little or no community support. The House will wish to know that the Police Service of Northern Ireland continues to disrupt the activity of that small criminal group. So far this year, it has made 51 arrests, brought 12 charges and made three seizures.
