Tánaiste Simon Harris has said he cannot see “any scenario” where Ireland would join US President Donald Trump’s "so-called board of peace” as currently constructed.

Speaking in the Dáil, the Fine Gael leader said there were several “red flags” associated with Mr Trump’s plan, including the fact Russian president Vladimir Putin may be joining.
