Tánaiste Simon Harris has said “Ireland will not support any measures that help assist Putin’s war machine” as an investigation into the use of alumina produced in Limerick continues.
Both Mr Harris and Taoiseach Micheál Martin said a probe by the Department of Enterprise into Aughinish Alumina must be allowed to be completed. However, neither said they would push back against the inclusion of alumina on further EU sanction lists.
