Ukraine embassy raises alarm over Irish alumina exports to Russia

Ukraine's embassy in Ireland has said it is seriously concerned about continued exports of alumina from the Aughinish plant in Limerick to Russia. The plant is described as Europe's largest alumina refinery, and the embassy said the material is still flowing despite an Irish government investigation into the trade. The statement adds a new diplomatic dimension to an issue already under scrutiny because of its possible links to Russia's war economy.
