Hard to see us vetoing it if it comes down to it given FG supports it.

Thank fuck. Our government is pathetic that they tried to avoid this for so long.

Obviously this should happen but the government should also look after anyone losing their job when it happens

How stunning and brave.
Meanwhile large number of Israeli firms untouched.
All our leading multinatiomal pharma and tech companies have large operations in the state of Israel. Amazon, Google and Microsoft provide services to their military to help their bombings.
But nothing from Ireland or the EU.

Watch imports sharply rise to a few proxy countries now same way they’ve been getting around all other sanctions imposed, I mean its better than us doing absolutely nothing but it’ll only effect them short term until they get the logistics sorted out.

Hopefully the European Commission will add alumina to the list of sanctioned goods. It’s embarrassing that they haven’t done so yet.

Now nationalise it, a produce like Alumina should be a national strategic resource that shouldn’t be trusted to private investors

Ha! I did not expect this. Get ready for some mob level threats from AA followed by our government looking to create some „exceptions“ for them.

Stop sending alumina to russia, but secure the jobs. We cannot kill livelihoods for Ukraine

FF won’t like being show up, but when you look they only got rid of a guy who knew about child sexual abuse and did nothing about it a few weeks ago, they really probably don’t give a fuck

FF MEPs abstaining should also continue to let everyone know where their priorities lie…

Ukraine will win. They deserve to win. Ukraine deserves a chance. They are standing up against a tyrannical failed empire who has a history of invading all its neighbours. Ukraine defends us all with their own blood.

Good news. Should have been done years ago.

We have to see the evidence that our govt has. It has to release it to everyone,.otherwise the default has to be to ban that trade.
If govts could just sit on their hands when under pressure for sanctions then we’d be as bad as the ones we criticize over Israeli sanctions.
So let’s see the evidence Michael…or let’s close down that trade

Bravo EP on this one. A poorly disguised Russian- run company supplying Russia’s war machine.
Disgusting the FF was on the fence about it.
