Taoiseach Micheál Martin has welcomed US sanctions on the Kinahan crime cartel and said Ireland should look at introducing a reward for information leading to the capture of its members.

"I think it's very, very significant and I welcome this," said Mr Martin. "I do believe that we have to work internationally and collaborate with other authorities in respect of these issues."
