There is “no strain” in the relationship between Ireland and the EU because of the fallout of the golf-gate controversy, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said.

Mr Martin sharply rejected concerns raised by his own party colleague, Jim O’Callaghan on Newstalk radio that the national interest has been damaged by Phil Hogan losing his job as EU Trade Commissioner two weeks ago.
