Fishermen who plan to peacefully disrupt Russia's military exercises off the coast of Ireland have been warned by the Tanaiste not to put themselves at risk.
Patrick Murphy, chief executive of the Irish South and West Fish Producers Organisation, said some of its members plan to hold a protest against the military exercises next month.
The artillery drills at the start of February will take place in international waters but within Irish-controlled airspace and the country's exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
