Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

As the Deputy has recognised, the position of the Government has been that we will act in consort with our European partners. Ideally, that should be done in a co-ordinated manner. This issue may well be discussed at the European Council meeting over the next couple of days. We have previously expressed our concern at the extent of the diplomatic presence in the Russian Embassy in Dublin. I will ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs to revert to the Deputy with the latest position on the matter.
