Post-European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-01-26
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

We are supposed to be a neutral country but the way in which the Government is articulating its position on the dangerous brinkmanship and escalation by two major military political blocs - NATO and Russia - suggests that, for the Government at least, there is no question of being neutral or objective but that the Irish Government is taking sides.
