Irish politicians have visited me at embassy, says Assange
Julian Assange has revealed that a number of Irish politicians have entered the Ecuadorian embassy in London to meet him.
The Wikileaks founder has been inside the building for two years after being granted asylum by Ecuador.
He is now involved in a number of legal battles against a Swedish extradition warrant which was granted on foot of complaints of alleged sexual assault.
Mr. Assange says he is confident that he will have left the embassy within the next year, and says that he has received a lot of support from international leaders, including a number of Irish politicians.
"Well there's quite a bit of support amongst the leaders of other countries," he said.
"There's a lot of support privately, but of course, they are aware that they have to be careful about angering the United States or the United Kingdom,
"Several Irish politicians have been good enough to visit me here at the Embassy and some have shown public support."
