Taoiseach Micheál Martin with German chancellor Friedrich Merz at a bilateral meeting in Farmleigh House, Dublin, on Tuesday.

The German chancellor has rejected claims a case involving an Irish pro-Palestinian activist amounts to a "show trial".

Concerns have been raised about the treatment of Daniel Tatlow-Devally in custody, with politicians from both Government and opposition parties calling on Taoiseach Micheál Martin to send observers to hearings in the Ulm 5 trial.
