Clare Daly (Dublin Fingal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

To go back to the question I asked, we know the Minister believes it is logical and desirable that we would join early because that would enable us to have a greater influence. I am not sure that argument stands up to serious scrutiny given the size of Ireland vis-à-visour European colleagues and their supposed expertise in dealing with terrorism and the like. In terms of my question, we know the Minister is in a mad hurry for us to sign up to this by next week. It is on the Dáil schedule for tomorrow, to be taken without debate. Given that I am none the wiser based on the vagueness of some of the answers colleagues have been given, I am asking what is the problem. Why does the motion need to be on the agenda for tomorrow, without debate? What are the consequences of that? I believe the Parliament needs to discuss it.
