Amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Vladimir Putin has accused the US and Europe of attempting to cancel Russian culture.

The Russian president mentioned the author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling, while claiming the West does not tolerate different views:

The Russian invasion of Ukraine reached it's 30th day, today.

More than 12,000 Ukrainian refugees have sought refuge in Ireland, since the war began.

Of these, over 6,000 have applied for accommodation, with the Department of Integration saying they're now in temporary homes, including in nearly 3,000 hotel rooms.
