Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said he welcomes the United Arab Emirates’ decision to freeze assets connected to the Kinahan drug trafficking gang.

“I think it’s very welcome news. Ultimately, crime does not pay and I think what this illustrates is the power of countries working together on the international level,” Mr Martin said.
