The Chairman spoke about how we would define neutrality. My definition is that if two countries are at war, we decide we will not participate in the war and have no part in it. Would Mr. Burgess agree this is a definition of neutrality? If Ireland decided not to participate in a particular conflict or support any country involved, one would have to define this as being neutral. In the broad sense does Mr. Burgess agree with this definition?
