In the dock: arrival of British warship in Dublin sparks protests

THE docking of Britain’s largest warship in Dublin is a shameful violation of Irish neutrality, the Dáil heard yesterday.

The HMS Ocean drops anchor in the capital for a series of informal events including a reception for a British brewery looking to export to Ireland.

Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh told the Dáil the visit was totally unacceptable.
