Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said that he doesn’t know the identity of an alleged Russian spy in the Oireachtas, as he criticised the leaking of State intelligence.

A recent report has suggested that a member of the Oireachtas had been ensnared within a “honeytrap” and has been used as a Russian spy within Ireland’s political system.
