Mr. Barry Andrews:

I will only be repeating myself. I have recommended that there is an alternative. I spoke to some colleagues in Finland about what they do. Their flowchart is that in order to trigger the deployment of troops, a proposal is issued by the Government, which then goes to the relevant committee; the committee considers it and then it goes to a vote in the parliament, after which the president passes it. Elements of that are practically possible in Ireland to provide guardrails, given that some members are concerned that they would be added on.
