The Minister for Trade said he is “concerned” over reports of Irish made parts being found in Russian weapons in Ukraine

Irish companies have an obligation to ensure that they are “in full compliance” with EU sanctions, Mr Coveney said.

“We are working closely with the Ukrainian authorities to establish the origin of the components and the distribution channels from which they were acquired by the producer of the armaments.” The Minister said the Department of Trade is also working with the EU-funded Conflict Armament Research organisation which, according to its website, “identifies and tracks conventional weapons and ammunition in contemporary armed conflicts.”
