Chemical weapons inspectors are expected to get access to the site of an alleged chemical attack in Syria today.

It's 11 days since citizens in Douma were reportedly gassed by the government there.

The Assad regime has denied using toxic weapons on its own people and Russia has accused the UK, US and France of launching an unprovoked bombing in response.

In the Dáil, the Tánaiste and Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney said Ireland didn't support military action.

"I understood why some countries decided to move ahead themselves and have published the legal justification for that.

"That legal justification will be tested, as it should.

"So Ireland has not supported military action in this case".
