Aughinish Alumina exports making their way to the Russian military supply chain cannot be ruled out, a Government report is expected to say.

The investigation into the killing of 43-year-old Jamey Carney is entering a new phase as attention shifts to the legal challenges in speaking to the main suspect, 28-year-old Ahmed Al Saqar, who fled to Jordan.
