Defence (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-06-18
============================================================

Gerry Horkan (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I thank the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence for being here. I am pleased to be able to speak to this Bill on behalf of my colleague, Senator Diarmuid Wilson, who is a long-time spokesperson on defence. He has a son now serving in the Army, so he is very interested in the topic. While I am also interested, I do not have the same level of experience-----
