Sabina Coyne Higgins, the wife of President Michael D Higgins, will "take no comfort" from the praise by the Russian ambassador of a letter she wrote to a national newspaper on the subject of the war in Ukraine, a Fianna Fáil TD has said.

Ms Coyne Higgins wrote to the Irish Times earlier this week to call for a negotiated settlement to the war.
