Dail Éireann — 2024-06-12
============================================================

They would never do that. Why did the Tánaiste even mention it? No member of the Defence Forces would do that and risk the lives of their comrades serving in a peacekeeping capacity abroad. I ask the Tánaiste to delete "matter of Government policy". It is insulting to try to silence members of the Defence Forces. As for mentioning attending a protest on Gaza in uniform, come off it.
