For sure. I am, however, nervous that I might not get to ask the next question, which is equally important.

In terms of neutrality, because the Tánaiste mentioned at least twice that particular aspects of his remarks do not impinge on Irish neutrality. He stated that there is no suggestion of Ireland joining NATO as reinforcement that there is no threat to or question over our neutrality. Outside of joining NATO or a common defence pact, what would the Tánaiste consider to be in breach of Irish neutrality?
