What's Going On With Aughinish Alumina?

from Newstalk Daily

Aughinish Alumina in Co Limerick is one of the biggest alumina refineries in Europe. It is also owned by Rusal, the Russian aluminium giant founded by sanctioned oligarch Oleg Deripaska.  Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, questions have been raised about whether alumina linked to the plant is feeding supply chains connected to Moscow’s war effort. But four years into the war, Aughinish remains open, Russian-owned, and outside any sanctions. Ciara is joined by Journalist and Author of Leaving Russia: How Putin Forced a Country’s Future to Flee, Jason Corcoran.
