Taoiseach Proud Of Irish Support For Ukraine

Micheál Martin addresses Wolfe Tone Commemoration in Bodenstown

The Taoiseach says he is proud of how the Irish people have supported Ukraine in its fight for a European future.

Micheál Martin has been speaking at a commemoration service for Wolfe Tone in Kildare.

He said the welcome Ireland has given to people fleeing the conflict with Russia is also something to be proud of - even though it does create many pressures on key resources.

The Taoiseach told those assembled at Tone's resting place in Bodenstown, that this is a fitting way for Ireland to mark its own struggle for independence.
