Ireland sending 1000 tonnes a day of raw alumina to Russia

This lad does some great reporting. This is particularly shameful.

Also of note is the factory was operating in the red until record profits in 2026.

I can’t understand how this is allowed to continue, by the gov or the citizens.

Yeah I'm going to be writing to local TD's about it tbh. Was raging when I discovered it.

When the sanctions kicked in initially our company received a very strongly worded email warning us to basically cut off all dealings with Russia. This going on is such hypocrisy.

Oh, I had no idea such messages were sent from the government to businesses.

I should email my TDs too. Emailing Galway West TDs sometimes feels like asking a wolf to turn vegetarian, but we have to keep going.

So?
