I thank the witnesses for attending. We have talked about the need for clarity in this area. Deputy Callaghan has spoken about the fact that, when there is confusion out there, the debate is hard to achieve. One of the things I find people are confused about is that the Government, the Department a couple of weeks ago in the committee and now the witnesses here today all hold the position that the triple lock does not have a connection to our neutrality. Is that essentially what the witnesses are putting forward today?
