Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the totally unacceptable arrival today in Dublin of HMS Ocean, one of the largest warships in the British Navy, and the hosting here of this warship, which played a key role in Britain's illegal invasion of Iraq, and the presence on this island or in its ports, airports, seas and skies of any part of the British military apparatus while the British military occupation of the Six Counties and of Iraq continues, and the Government's shameful invitation to the warship to come here which is in gross violation of the principle of Irish neutrality.
