The Taoiseach has made clear he disagrees with the Northern Ireland First Minister’s apparent criticism of a large order for a Belfast factory to supply missiles for Ukraine.

Sinn Féin vice president Michelle O’Neill told the Stormont Assembly this week that she was “incredulous” at the deal for the Thales plant in east Belfast.
