flag Ireland to empower military to inspect Russian ships in its waters amid security threats.

flag Ireland is enacting emergency legislation to empower its Defence Forces to board and inspect Russian "shadow fleet" vessels in its waters, part of a new National Maritime Security Strategy. flag The move, driven by threats from espionage, sabotage, and drone activity, aims to strengthen maritime surveillance ahead of Ireland’s EU presidency. flag The government plans to fast-track laws allowing unilateral naval action, upgrade radar and sonar systems, and establish new naval bases and a national maritime security centre. flag Cooperation with NATO allies and enhanced monitoring of undersea cables are key components, reflecting growing concerns over critical infrastructure and global security risks.
