Taoiseach Micheal Martin has indicated that the Government will extend the Russian Ambassador’s visa.
The Irish Mirror revealed today that Yury Filatov’s visa is due to expire within weeks and the Russian Embassy has written twice to the Department of Foreign Affairs asking for it to be extended so he can remain in Ireland.
There have been repeated calls on the Government to expel Mr Filatov as a result of Russia’s barbaric war in Ukraine.
