Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

I raise the same issue. There is huge concern about the debate the Government is opening up on neutrality. It simply does not stack up for the Government to suddenly say, after decades in which there has been a lack of investment in security and defence and pay and conditions for our Defence Forces, that it is now interested in our security and defence. Clearly, there are issues with the composition of the panel. Will the Government address those to ensure there is balance? We need to have a discussion of this matter in the Dáil to ensure there is full input from everyone across the House.
