Pressure is mounting over the future of Aughinish Alumina, with an EU report into the plant’s exports expected to determine whether sanctions could be imposed.
If sanctions are introduced, what happens to the more than 1,000 workers at the Limerick refinery and the thousands of families who depend on it?
Mayor of Limerick John Moran argues the situation is “not a black or white situation”, calling for time to investigate the facts and explore ways to protect jobs if sanctions are required.
Meanwhile, Kevin Doyle, Executive Editor of the Irish Independent, argues the issue is “actually quite black and white”, questioning whether Ireland can continue taking different approaches to international conflicts.
Gavan Reilly is joined by John Moran, Kevin Doyle, Noelle O’Connell and Harry Browne to discuss one of the biggest political and economic dilemmas currently facing Ireland.
