Committee on Defence and National Security

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

2:00 am

Ms Lynn Boylan:

I will also just say on the gas pipelines and the hybrid warfare, going back to the point again, the triple lock does not prevent us from investing in our Defence Forces and we currently do not have the personnel to crew the navy ships that could be patrolling our waters. That is nothing to do with the triple lock. We can do that and defend our cables, and the corporations that own those cables should also support that but there is nothing in the triple lock preventing us from doing that.
