The STI Clapham in 2017
This morning.
Via RTÉ News:
Documents obtained by RTÉ News under the Freedom of Information Act reveal how management at Dublin Port was opposed to allowing a shipment of Russian diesel dock in the port in early March, following the invasion of Ukraine.
…CEO of Dublin Port Eamonn O’Reilly first informed Secretary General of the Department of Transport Ken Spratt and other senior officials in an email dated 4 March of the imminent arrival of the STI Clapham with a consignment of Russian diesel which had requested permission to dock in the port….
…On Sunday 6 March, the Secretary General of the Department of Transport wrrote to the Chair of Dublin Port on the direction of the Minister for Transport to inform him “…there is no legal basis to refuse to accept this product…” and that sanctions against Russia exclude oil product.

LOL
if you’ve got a strange new boat approaching your port, be sure to pack the rubber dinghies.
Well let’s face it the Russians have plenty of customers that are taking it
The reality is the only ones suffering is the EU
And Ukrainians.
Them too but not their leaders
Management at Dublin Port were opposed? Or Dublin Port workers were opposed and management conveyed that message?
This product woulds have been paid for well in advance of the invasian of Ukraine.
What would be the purpose of refusing a product already paid for? That’s not how sanctions work.
Is everything on here bullshit now?
Dept of Transport wanted it in because they paid for it…it’s the supply for Irish Rail,Dublin Bus & Bus Eireann…CIE group have been using Russian diesel for decades now….under the NTA GoAhead is now included in that tank.
