A vote will be held tomorrow on a non-binding motion that seeks to impose EU sanctions preventing the Aughinish Alumina refinery in Limerick from exporting to Russia.

Fine Gael are voting in favour of the amendment, but Fianna Fáil are abstaining from the vote, believing sanctions would hurt Europe more than Russia.

Joining Ciara to discuss this is Regina Doherty, Fine Gael MEP for Dublin and Cynthia Ní Mhurchú, Fianna Fáil MEP for Ireland South.
