EU Budgets
I thank the Minister. We are well over time.

Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 22 of 449 decisive votes (2 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Shannon Airport Facilities
My question is a direct one. What are the Minister's plans to engage with the new President of America, Mr. Joe Biden, in respect of the continued use of Shannon Airport by American troops, given that this year alone 65,965, or almost 70,000, troops have passed through in ten months which is more than in any year from 2014 to 2017?

Shannon Airport Facilities
There is actually a very good reason to do so because America has been involved in many wars. The figures are shocking. I hope the Minister would use his voice for the sake of peacekeeping rather than peace enforcement. According to the UN Refugee Agency, 79.5 million people were displaced in 2019. Of those, approximately 39 million were displaced as a direct result of America's involvement in wars since 2001. A great number of soldiers and military flights go through Shannon on their way to creating mayhem. I am d…

Shannon Airport Facilities
It is not possible to advance those principles and policies if we are facilitating war, and we are facilitating war. Almost 3 million soldiers have passed through Shannon Airport since 2002. Some 475 American planes have landed and 734 overflight permissions were granted in 2019 alone. It is not possible to promote peace if we are facilitating war. It is simply not possible; they do not go together. The argument that we must continue with this because it is long-standing practice is the weakest I have ever heard pr…
