Irish senators have publicly denied being spies amidst allegations of Russian interference in Ireland. Reports suggest a member of the Irish parliament may have been recruited as a Russian asset. Senators, including Timmy Dooley and Fiona O’Loughlin, declared they are not under investigation. Taoiseach Simon Harris emphasized the seriousness of the allegations and the need for vigilance against Russian influence, which has reportedly increased since the invasion of Ukraine. An expert warned that anyone in a position of influence in Ireland could be targeted by Russian intelligence.
