Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney is to call in the Iranian Ambassador to raise deep concerns over their support of Russia through the supply of drone weapons.

Mr Coveney told a meeting of the Fine Gael parliamentary party that he would also be making it clear that Ireland is not happy with the treatment of women in Iran.
