Irish Times Correspondent in Brussels Suzanne Lynch says the city remains in lockdown. 

David Cameron's agreed to strengthen counter-terrorism ties between the UK and France.

He's offered the French air force the use of the RAF's base in Cyprus – after president Francois Hollande confirmed he'd be intensifying air strikes against Islamic State in Syria.

The British Prime Minister's repeated his conviction that the UK should also be involved – and says he'll be making a statement about that to Parliament later this week.

Meanwhile, those with a radical interpretation of Islam should not be allowed to come to Ireland to communicate with the Muslim community.

That's according to the Imam of the Al-Mustafa Islamic Centre in Dublin. 

He says that Islamic radicals are not necessarily here to recruit terrorist fighters – but they shouldn't be allowed to preach to the Muslim community in Ireland. 

Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Umar Al-Qadri says that many speakers have come to Ireland with radical views.
