I thank the Cathaoirleach. I welcome the witnesses. It is an honour to have people with such distinguished military backgrounds before us. I particularly welcome former Major General O'Brien, who was the highest-ranking female officer in the Defence Forces. She is from the west of Ireland as well, which is not too bad.
Mr. Doyle gave us a view of the triple lock. All four witnesses have served oversea. During that service, has the question of the triple lock ever occurred for any other force from any other country anywhere in the world?
