Russia attack: 'We are strong behind the UK' says Ireland

Ireland's Minister for European Affairs Helen McEntee says her government will consider withdrawing their ambassador from Russia, in support of the UK following the nerve agent attack in Salisbury.

It comes in the wake of an announcement that the EU representative to Moscow would be recalled.

Ms McEntee told the Today programme that Ireland and the EU member states "are united, we are strong behind the UK".
