Fáilte chuig an gcoiste. What is the current playing field? We hear a lot about the militarisation of Europe and whether hard-pressed Irish taxpayers are contributing towards the funding of the militarisation of Europe, particularly as we are a neutral state. Currently, is Irish taxpayers' money being used to subsidise the European arms industry in any fashion, particularly through the EU budget, the European Defence Fund or the Act in Support of Ammunition Production, ASAP, or any other mechanism?
