Around 30 Irish nationals have travelled to Syria to engage in the conflict there over recent years.

However, Adam Argiag, a Dublin-based researcher who has investigated the issue of foreign fighters, said he had come across no information suggesting Isil had recruited Irish men to their cause.

Mr Argiag contributed to an EU-sponsored report published last year.

It documented how the families of Irish fighters who had travelled to Syria denied they were jihadists or terrorists and claimed they had other motivations, such as fighting the Assad regime.

Not a very informative article. It doesn't tell us that Adam Argiag is Executive Director of the Muslim Association of Ireland.

@Martpee

My question too.

Why has he not declared he is Executive Director of the Muslim Association of Ireland. As such his opinions would be biased and compromised.
