The Taioseach Leo Varadkar has insisted he has never felt pressure from other EU leaders to change the country's neutrality.

On Thursday night, EU leaders signed off on a plan to send a million artillery rounds to Ukraine within the next 12 months and to spend €2bn on building ammunition capacity within the bloc in the coming years.
