Private Sean Rooney was killed when a convoy of Irish peacekeepers he was travelling with were ambushed in Lebanon in December 2022
The United Nations has been accused of going" rogue" and covering up the death of hero Irish soldier Private Sean Rooney in Lebanon.
"And yet this same organisation is refusing to provide the crucial information that is needed by both our Government and the Dublin Coroner's Court in establishing how exactly and why he died. They are also trying to ensure that mistakes in terms of protocol, and decision making that put soldiers' lives at risk are not repeated.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirmed that the UN had failed to respond to the Dublin Coroner's request to access two reports on investigations it carried out into the incident that led to Sean's death. He was killed when a convoy of Irish peacekeepers he was travelling with were ambushed in December 2022 going through a village in south Lebanon.
