Leading Irish Muslim Warns: ISIL Operating in Ireland
He said Ireland is not doing enough to combat the threat of ISIL, the terrorist group which controls vast swathes of Iraq and Syria.
"They (ISIL members) live here, they are active at the level of small circles, giving lectures, talking to the youth," Dr Saleh told Newstalk Breakfast.
"This is a problem. We've said that from the beginning, now we have it. We didn't tackle it from the beginning. It is a duty of us, the Imam, to talk openly against those things.
Dr Saleh's son Jaafar, a medical student, said he has heard a lot of people getting excited about what's going on in Iraq and Syria, with individuals speaking about their friends trying to join the fighting.
"You get a lot of speakers coming here from all over the world, from Saudi Arabia, from the (Persian) Gulf states. (It's) sometimes kind of shocking that they're allowed into Ireland. Back over there where they speak, in Saudi Arabia or whatever, clearly they call for people to go to jihad in Syria and Iraq," he added.
