Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions
Shannon Airport Landings: Discussion (Resumed)
4:15 pm
Dr. Karen Devine:
The authorities in other neutral or formerly neutral states such as Sweden have deliberately changed the question wording in their surveys. They no longer ask Swedish people whether they want to retain the concept of neutrality, or if they are in favour of it. They simply ask them whether they want to join a military alliance. As I have said, military neutrality has nothing whatsoever to do with real neutrality.
