Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Independent)

Does Councillor Coughlan feel that there should be more town councils and full-time pay for councillors? Second, Ireland is militarily neutral, as Ms Tütt knows, but we are not politically neutral. We support the Ukrainians, for example, and have been outspoken on the genocide in Gaza. In terms of the potential for this fund to help Ireland and help Europe deal with nefarious operators in the waters beyond our territorial waters, does she think drone technology is a game-changer for smaller countries such as Ireland and Denmark? Is there potential for manufacturing capabilities to produce this type of defensive armaments here?
