‘I am not a spy’ – Senators declare they are not ‘Cobalt’ at centre of Russian agent claims
'I am not a spy' - Seanad members declare they are not suspected Russian agent in OireachtasSeveral senators have used their speaking time this afternoon to declare they are not Russian spies. It comes after a newspaper reported that a politician in the Oireachtas has been allegedly recruited by Russian intelligence. “And I too, Senator Dooley like you, am not one of those people either,” Senator Buttimer said. Taoiseach Simon Harris today deflected a question as to whether the alleged Russian spy in the Oireachtas should identify himself - as rumours swirled that he might be preparing to do so. It comes after The Sunday Times reported that Russian intelligence recruited an Irish politician to act as an agent during Brexit negotiations.

More from my background are considering Irish identity – Nesbitt
The Cold Feet actor said that his background did not prevent him from identifying as an Irishman. Weeks after his appearance as the keynote speaker at the Dublin event, graffiti threatening the actor appeared in Portrush. “So much of what I was trying to say was that my background, my culture, my history, does not disallow me from considering myself an Irishman. “You can call yourself whatever you want, you can call yourself Northern Irish, from the north of Ireland, you can be nationalist, unionist, that doesn’t matter. “It is just about having an identity and a protected identity and feeling that you can be part of a shared island, with shared identities in which we move forward for the best of everyone.”
