LIMERICK Senator Maria Byrne has declared she is not a Russian spy.
The Fine Gael politician made the comments during a Seanad Éireann debate yesterday.

He declared that he is not a spy and hoped that everybody would use the opportunity to declare they are not a Russian spy.
"In order to avoid any potential stain on this House I suggest that member would voluntarily make a statement that they are not the subject of any investigation or that they have never been in the clutches of Russia."
Wexford Senator Malcolm Byrne also declared he isn't a Russian spy and said he had no doubt that Senator Dooley isn't a spy either. "He and Deputy Cathal Crowe are spending so much time keeping an eye on each other."
