The Government does not expect the Aughinish Alumina plant to be impacted by the latest round of EU sanctions against Russia.

Oleg Deripaska owns shares in London-listed EN+, owner of Rusal, which in turn owns the Limerick plant. The oligarch also owns a company that provides military hardware to Russian forces and was listed in the bloc's fifth round of sanctions on Friday.
