John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

Will the Minister confirm that all the other neutral states do not allow American troops to land on their soil to participate in the war in Iraq? Are we not being complicit by allowing them to do so? That is the case.

Will the Minister also correct the record to say that this arrangement has not been in place for 50 years? A case was brought to the High Court and the judge found this arrangement was not in place. I want the Minister to correct the record on that point.
