Neale Richmond (Dublin Rathdown, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In the last couple of hours, we have seen that the Russian Federation has taken the decision to sanction the Taoiseach, the Ceann Comhairle and a number of Cabinet Ministers and Members of this House and the Seanad in a disgraceful statement that ends with a line stating that, in relation to further action, the Russian Government will be guided by its embassy in Dublin. This is a very disappointing occurrence and a further act from a terrorist regime raining misery on our continent. Is it not finally time to shut down the Russian Embassy in my constituency, expel the ambassador and cut off the constant channel of misinformation, disinformation and aggression from these so-called diplomats?
