Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Ratification of EU and NATO Status of Forces Agreements: Discussion
Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Deputy Barrett raised a range of different issues. I refer to peacekeeping and the manner in which members of the Defence Forces carry out their duties as peacekeepers. They still excel in carrying out their duties as peacekeepers. Unfortunately, peacekeeping has changed over the years. I do not want the Deputy to take me up the wrong way. Compared to when Deputy Barrett was Minister, people say the nature of peacekeeping has not changed but the threats and the complexities of peacekeeping have changed.
