Russia: Supply Chains

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has had discussions with her Irish counterpart on reports that Aughinish Alumina has been linked to supply chains supporting Russia's defence industry.

Answer

We conduct similar conversations with the EU on a regular basis. We keep all options to put pressure on the Russian war economy under regular review.
