Foreign Policy
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-15

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Our position on military neutrality is very clear. It is not changing, even in the context of this conference. There is no predetermined outcome. Is the Deputy saying that Professor Gary Murphy is problematic? I can go through the full list. It is not fair to single out any individual. These are people who have achieved academic positions in various institutions. I find the thought process behind the Deputy's approach most troubling. To a certain extent, it is more than just intolerant of the right to free speech and different perspectives. A plurality of views is needed when we are discussing issues, whether national or global.
