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.
