Tánaiste expresses Irish Government concerns to Lebanese about lack of progress in bringing to justice killers of Pte Seán RooneyTánaiste Micheál Martin: 'The far right is far more advanced in other European member states, so we can’t be complacent that we’re going to be any different.
“My own sense, and gut instinct is that, without question, there is a foreign influence and many actors out there who are endeavouring to sow division in EU member states, create dissension and undermine our democratic norms,” he said.
There was also the “unacceptable” attack last week on security workers at a site earmarked for modular homes in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, for Ukrainian refugees. Vehicles were also destroyed by arsonists during the incident last Thursday. Mr Martin, who has been in Lebanon since Saturday, on Monday morning metLebanese minister for foreign affairs Abdallah BouHabib in Beirut to discuss the killing and convey the concerns of the Irish Government at the lack of any trial some 18 months after the murder.
