No Recognition Of Catalan Independence From Irish Government
The Government say they won't recognise the result of the Catalan Independence referendum.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar earlier came down on the side of the Spanish government in the dispute.
However he condemned the violence seen in the region after police officers clashed with voters.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement saying it's up to Spanish citizens to determine their preferred constitutional and political arrangements in keeping with the rule of law.
Leo Varadkar says they won't recognise the result, which was 90 per cent in favour of Catalonia leaving Spain.
