The European Union is considering adding an Irish alumina refinery to its sanctions list over allegations that its exports have helped supply Russia's war machine in Ukraine. The report, published by The Economist, has sparked debate in Ireland about the country's role in indirect flows of industrial materials reaching Moscow, and whether Dublin should act against the firm.

Why now: The Economist's report on an Irish company allegedly aiding Russia's war effort has raised sensitive questions about Irish neutrality and EU sanctions policy.
