Dr. Cathal Berry:

I can come in on that. The legal review Professor Tonra is proposing relates only to peacekeeping and peace enforcement missions. It has nothing to do with sovereign, national operations. Even as the law stands, there are eight exemptions to the triple lock. This legislation proposes three additional exemptions, namely, evacuation operations, counter-narcotic operations and security operations and close protection for our embassies overseas. The legal review Professor Tonra is proposing relates only to international peacekeeping operations. It does not concern sovereign, national Defence Forces operations. It would not apply, if that answers the Deputy's question.
