I welcome the witnesses and thank them for their submissions.

They are both elected through a democratic process to the office they now hold. I therefore assume that they believe in sovereignty. Do they believe Ireland is a sovereign nation capable of making up its own mind with respect to the deployment of its troops? If we were to apply the triple lock to MEPs and had to get permission from Whitehall to allow them to go to Brussels every week, how do they think MEPs would react to that?
