Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I believe there is something morally wrong with the fact that an authoritarian and aggressive neo-imperialist power has a de facto veto on elements of how we as an independent Republic react to any given situation. That is the fundamental truth of where we are today. They invaded Ukraine, they violated the UN Charter and the Deputy is saying that they should have a veto over how, when and where we deploy our troops.
