A Russian Navy ship currently in Irish-controlled waters is a reminder of how vulnerable our energy resources are, according to a security expert.
The intelligence-gathering ship was being tracked yesterday after refusing to respond to communications from the Irish Naval Service.
It's believed its eventual destination is Cuba, but it's not known why it's in Irish-controlled waters.
Mullingar's Declan Power, Defence and Security Expert, says its presence is significant:
