The Russian Ambassador should “butt out” of Irish affairs and apologise to the bereaved family of the activist who died fighting in Ukraine, a leading TD claimed yesterday.
People Before Profit Deputy Brid Smith demanded that Russian Ambassador Yury Filatov say sorry for the hurt he’s caused to the family of Finbar Cafferkey.
The call came after Ambassador Filatov made a “threatening” statement which appeared to suggest that Ireland could find itself at war with Russia. But Deputy Smith said the death of an Irish national has nothing to do with him and he should mind his own business.
