Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Commission on the Defence Forces: Discussion
Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:
I thank the Deputy. We are of course blessed to have three very skilled people from Norway, Denmark and Finland on the commission, so those are three examples. Broadly speaking, the countries we will be comparing ourselves to are other small European countries. That is generally speaking. We have also got some information concerning New Zealand, for example, but broadly speaking we are looking to small European countries with whom we have close relations, and that is particularly the case with the Nordic countries. Those are the kinds of examples we will be looking at.
