Some good news for us at least:

Last night Russia said it would relocate planned military drills so they take place outside Ireland's Exclusive Economic Zone.
Ambassador Yury Filatov said in a statement: "In response to the requests from the Irish government as well as from the Irish South and West Fish Producer's Organisation, the Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoigu has made a decision, as a gesture of goodwill, to relocate the exercises by the Russian Navy, planned for February 3-8, outside the Irish exclusive economic zone (EEZ), with the aim not to hinder fishing activities by the Irish vessels in the traditional fishing areas."
When asked if the Government should have pushed for the drills to be cancelled as opposed to them simply being moved outside of the Irish economic zone, Mr Coveney told RTÉ's This Week: "Of course, that's the preference but we don't control all of the levers here. In fact, we don't control very many of them at all. This is international waters that we're talking about."
