In response to the anti-Russian course of the government of Ireland, RUSSIA imposes sanctions against 52 members of the government and politicians of this country, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The ministry stressed that Ireland unconditionally supports the restrictive measures introduced by the European Union against Russian citizens, "aimed at attempts to isolate our country internationally." “A decision has been made to include 52 key representatives of the leadership and politicians of Ireland on the Russian stop list,” the Foreign Ministry said.

In particular, the Russian sanctions list included Irish Prime Minister Michel Martin, his deputy Leo Varadkar, Chairman of Doyle (lower house of parliament) Sean O'Foril, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Defense Simon Coveney, Minister of Justice Helen McIntee, Minister of Finance Pascal Donoghue, as well as a number of senators and deputies of the lower house of parliament.

“Acting under the dictation of Brussels, Ireland is conducting an aggressive anti-Russian propaganda campaign, a course has been taken to curtail bilateral cooperation to the detriment of its own interests. One of the consequences of fueling Russophobic hysteria in Irish society was the attack on the Russian embassy in Dublin in March of this year,” the Russian diplomatic service said.

We are talking about the incident at the Russian representative office in Dublin, which occurred on March 7. Then a truck drove into the gates of the embassy. The truck was driven by a worker, The Irish Times reported, and no one was injured in the incident. Dublin police arrested the man and launched an investigation.
