General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Barry Andrews:
Obviously, things do not work from time to time. Push backs on migrants at EU borders is one such example. There are a lot of examples where the EU has fallen below its own standards. It is a treaty and a union of laws and I respect that. I do not accept the idea that the European Union is a negative influence. It has been an incredibly positive influence for Ireland.
