There must be "further investigation" into suggestions that pagers detonated in Lebanon which killed eight and injured 2,700 were made within the EU, the Tánaiste has said.

Speaking at the Ploughing Championships in Co Laois, Micheál Martin said that suggestions that explosives were put into pagers in a manufacturing facility in Hungary must be addressed.
