Gerard Craughwell (Independent)

We are a sovereign nation. We stand proudly among the nations of the world. No other nation has the triple lock. Surely to God we can rely on and trust the Parliament of the State to decide. I fully accept UN mandates but we do not need the UN to tell us where we can move our troops. If Professor Murphy interprets this as me being pro-removal of the triple lock, I am agnostic about it. I see it as a red herring. I am really concerned that the Parliament of the State is being overseen by other entities outside the State when it comes to our troops. We should be able to draft legislation that would set the bar significantly high enough to protect the State.
