In a shocking development that could easily be the plot of a riveting political thriller, Taoiseach Simon Harris revealed that Ireland is "not immune" to the tentacles of Russian espionage. This statement comes after allegations surfaced that a sitting member of the Oireachtas has been recruited by Russian intelligence. The politician, referred to only as "Cobalt"—a name that doesn’t exactly scream transparency—is purportedly being used to exploit tensions surrounding Brexit. Harris emphasized that such revelations should not catch anyone off guard, pointing to the inherent vulnerabilities in any Western democracy.
