A number of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael politicians have confirmed that they are on Russia's travel ban list. It is understood no politicians from the Green Party or Sinn Féin feature on the list.

TAOISEACH MICHEÁL MARTIN agrees that the travel ban sanction list provided by Russia is incoherent and thrown together.

Coveney deemed the move “an unwelcome distraction” and said that Ireland “should not play that game”. Speaking to reporters this afternoon, Coveney said that the sanctions placed on Irish politicians was an attempt to “unsettle the Irish political system”.“In relation to the decisions by Russia this week, you know, I think we need to see that for what it is, which is an attempt to try to unsettle the Irish political system by targeting some people and not others, some political parties and not others.

“That’s been an ongoing question, and it certainly shouldn’t be a knee jerk reaction to what we’ve seen this week.” Fianna Fáil senator Timmy Dooley also shared that he was named on the list, which he deemed a “disgraceful action of intimidation by a desperate dictator”. Sources within Fianna Fáil speculated that the reason for many of its politicians being listed is due to almost 40 Fianna Fáil TDs, senators and MEPs signing a petition calling on the Russian ambassador to Ireland Yuriy Filatov to be expelled from Ireland.Related Read 16.11.

He said that Ireland is assisting the Ukrainian military in the war with non-lethal weaponry, adding that “that is not going to change”.
