Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Question 41: To ask the Minister for Defence if he will reconcile his assertion, articulated in responses by him to parliamentary questions, that Irish commitments to EU battle groups will not necessitate extra defence spending with the demand made on radio on 4 October 2006 by Defence Forces representative association PDFORRA for more funding and manpower in order to meet their new commitment to EU battle groups.
