Billy Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael)

We spoke earlier about Irish personnel who participated in Partnership for Peace and that the legislation is being brought in to confirm their legal status. We have also established that foreign armies cannot train here and for them to do so would require a referendum. Could it logically be said that foreign military personnel who are based here, be it as a military attache or people who come to the UN school on courses, could be operating here illegally?
