Common Foreign and Security Policy
Dail Éireann — 2022-01-27
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

The Minister is apparently very concerned about the Chief of Staff meeting with the Russian ambassador. I wonder would he be as concerned if he met with the US ambassador or the head of NATO. I say that because I am concerned that the Minister attended a conference - maybe he will confirm this - in Brest, France, this month with EU foreign ministers, where he discussed the further project of militarising Europe and integrating with NATO.
