Ivor Callely (Dublin North Central, Fianna Fail)

I wish to support my colleague, Deputy O'Connor, in expressing concern for our troops in their overseas role. They deserve our congratulations. The concern arises from the threat assessment. Will the Minister clarify the need for triple-lock approval? Does it apply in all situations? Will the Minister indicate briefly what criteria apply before deciding to deploy Defence Forces contingents on overseas missions?
