Committee on Defence and National Security

General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Ms Niamh Ní Bhriain:

Yes, and that is the reality of the Security Council. I do not favour the veto system and, as we have already discussed, there needs to be reform within the United Nations. If they vote against the Lebanon mission tomorrow, it would be a real shame but that is the reality. In that case, Ireland would have no business being there, if we did not have a United Nations mandate.
