“If you are looking to affect a western country with extensive assets and a poor security culture then Ireland is ground zero,” he said on Sunday.One year after the brutal Hamas attacks, Netanyahu is in a stronger position than everHe said it came as no surprise to him that members of the Oireachtas have been targeted for recruitment by Russia n operatives.
He said that Ireland did not have adequate security and that was compounded by the fact it was the European base for so many US multinationals and technology companies. “So not only are we a potential target, but also our lack of security awareness doubles down on that potential targeting because we’re clueless in relation to national security.”
Taoiseach Simon Harris responds to a Sunday Times report that an elected representative working in the Oireachtas is a Russian intelligence asset.Speaking at an event at Glasnevin Cemetery, the Taoiseach said Ireland was “not immune” to Russian attempts to sway public opinion.
