I really appreciate the opportunity, and many thanks to the witnesses for their contributions this morning. I have a few specific questions but I will start by picking up on comments Ms Maguire has made about that connection between neutrality and the triple lock. In her answers to Deputy O'Meara, she said that it is not impacted. Is that really the Department's line, that neutrality will not be at all impacted should we remove the triple lock? I appreciate there are policy position differences between what I would see as an integral relationship, but does Ms Maguire really think there is no impact to be made on our neutrality as a State by removing the triple lock?
