The Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan says there is no indication that any further Irish casualties or fatalities have occurred as a result of the terror attacks in Paris.

Mr Flanagan says an Irish citizen who was injured in the attacks last Friday and their family are continuing to receive ongoing consular assistance.

Speaking following an earlier meeting with his EU counterparts, Mr Flanagan said: "One Irish citizen who was injured by gunshot in the Bataclan theatre incident is still in hospital in a stable condition".

"Officials from our Embassy in Paris and my Department in Dublin have remained in close contact with the citizen and their family and with the French authorities".

"While we continue to await full identification of all those who lost their lives in last Friday’s horrific series of incidents, at this stage we have received no indication from the French authorities that there have been any further Irish casualties or fatalities".

He added that Paris "remains in a state of emergency and Irish citizens there should exercise caution and follow the instructions of the local authorities".

Speaking earlier, Mr Flanagan said Ireland did "not have a special exemption" from such incidents.

Meanwhile, An Garda Síochana say they are "in close contact" with French and other security partners following the Paris terror attacks.

They say they are assessing any implications for Ireland flowing from these events.

"Additionally, there is a Garda Liaison Officer attached to the Irish Embassy in Paris who has direct contact with the French authorities", the force says in a statement.

"Since these events, An Garda Síochána has conducted an intelligence assessment review and on Saturday the Commissioner briefed the National Security Committee and the Minister for Justice and Equality of our threat assessment".

It says the threat level here remains unchanged and the threat environment can be described as one where "an attack is possible but not likely".

The Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald told Newstalk Lunchtime that 'terrorism has no boundaries' from the kind of attacks that took place in Paris on Friday.

However, Ms Fitzgerald says there is no intelligence to suggest Ireland is any sort of specific target at present and stated an attack on Ireland is unlikely.

It earlier emerged that the French Prime Minister knew attacks were being prepared, and has said that more are still being planned in France and across Europe.

Manuel Valls said French intelligence services had prevented several attacks since the summer but warned: "Terrorism could strike again in the days or weeks to come".

He spoke after police raided homes of suspected Islamists across the country overnight in the aftermath of the Paris shooting and suicide bomb attacks.

A number of arrests have been made, as the search continues for a suspect who was questioned and released just hours after Friday night's attacks in Paris.

"We are making use of the legal framework of the state of emergency to question people who are part of the radical jihadist movement...and all those who advocate hate of the Republic," Valls said on RTL radio.

Mr Valls also promised to take action to shut down "mosques and associations that take against the values of the Republic".

Mr Valls spoke about the threat across Europe as British Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed seven attacks on a smaller scale being planned in the UK in the last six months have been stopped.

France has since carried out a series of air strikes on Islamic State in Syria.

French fighter planes have carried out their biggest bombing raid in Syria by dropping 20 bombs on the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria.

The bombers hit a jihadi recruitment centre, training camp and arms depot run by the extremist group, according to the French defence ministry.

A spokesman described it as a "massive" attack and France's biggest to date in Syria.

French foreign minister Laurent Fabius said France had the "legitimacy" to take action against IS after the terror attacks in Paris which left 132 people dead.

He said the decision to conduct airstrikes was a "political" one and that France had to be "present and active" following the atrocity.
