Catherine Callaghan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

I wish to mention, just as Senator Gallagher did, about today being the day the United Nations marks the international day of UN peacekeepers. It is a day that honours the dedication, bravery and sacrifice of any UN peacekeeper. I wish to pay tribute to our Irish men and women who are currently serving and who have served in the past at home and abroad. They brought honour and integrity to the reputation of Irish peacekeepers overseas. This year's theme of the international day of the peacekeeper is the future of peacekeeping. It reflects the evolving nature of peace operations in a complex world. With that in mind, I have a few questions. Will the proposed changes to the triple lock apply only to peacekeepers or to peace enforcing missions also?
