Aughinish Alumina steps up lobbying as European Commission considers sanctions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aughinish Alumina has significantly stepped up its lobbying of Irish politicians and officials as the European Commission contemplates sanctions targeting the Co Limerick plant’s output. Aughinish’s exports of alumina to Russia have been in the spotlight after reporting by The Irish Times last March traced the shipments to Russian smelters, which make it into aluminium that is sold to a company supplying more than 100 Russian weapons manufacturers. Aughinish and its Russian owner Rusal deny this
Defence Forces purchase of armoured vehicles wasted millions in taxpayer funds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The purchase of a fleet of armoured vehicles for the Defence Forces that were hardly ever used wasted millions in taxpayer funds, according to the Stateâs spending watchdog. The State purchased 27 RG-32M Light Armoured Tactical Vehicles (LTAVs) from BAE Systems in South Africa in 2008.

Read excerpt
More than â¬550,000 was spent on maintenance for a Garda surveillance aircraft in the last three years of its use, despite it flying for around seven hours during that period. Between 2023 and 2025, the Garda Air Support Unitâs Defender 4000 fixed wing aircraft cost roughly â¬79,000 per hour of operations, according to figures obtained by The Irish Times.
