Two questions that come to mind, which we have already discussed, are: how can we be in this situation where Irish law explicitly prohibits the funding of any factory that produces cluster munitions, and not just direct funding of the production of cluster munitions, and that we end up in this situation where taxpayers' money is being used towards this? The second question is: why on earth would we support an industry making extraordinary profits, with no control over who the end user is or what it is used for?
