Ireland’s newly appointed prime minister, Micheál Martin, has vowed to protect Ireland “at a moment of real threat” just days after Donald Trump threatened to wipe out the country’s tax advantage and repatriate American jobs.

He was speaking moments as he was officially appointed as leader of the country, but 24 hours after chaotic scenes in the Dáil caused the cancellation of his formal appointment.
