Defence and Neutrality: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2026-05-20
============================================================

Brian Stanley (IND), Laois

-----but the Minister for Defence should be here. There is legislation planned to go before the Dáil to abolish the triple lock and, we contend, to abolish neutrality. The fact the Minister is not here is an absolute disgrace. It shows total disrespect for the Parliament.
