MOSCOW, March 8. /TASS/. Irish Ambassador to Moscow Brian McAlduff was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday in connection with an incident in which a truck rammed the gates of the Russian diplomatic mission in Dublin.

"On March 8, the Irish Ambassador to Moscow, Brian McAlduff, was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry. The ambassador received strong protest in connection with an incident with a security breach of the Russian Embassy in Dublin, during which a truck rammed the entrance gate of the Russian diplomatic mission," the ministry said.

The ministry pointed out the inadmissibility of "blatant inaction of law enforcement agencies in Ireland, when such actions are committed in the presence of policemen".

"We demanded from the Irish authorities to issue an official apology for what happened and full compensation for the damage caused. We also expect the authorities of this country to conduct an objective investigation and punish those responsible," the ministry said.
