Taoiseach Micheál Martin has blamed the Russian Federation for “very sinister” and “intimidatory” reports on Russian state TV simulating a devastating nuclear attack on Britain and Ireland.

He said an apology “should be forthcoming” for the reports, which showed Ireland and Britain being completely submerged by an underwater nuclear bomb off the Donegal coast.
