European Defence Agency.
4:00 pm
Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)
Is the Minister suggesting that the Minister for Defence seeks to develop an armaments or a research capability in this area? The parallel of Enterprise Ireland assisting the Department of Agriculture and Food does not stand up. Enterprise Ireland's only purpose in this matter can be to generate business for Irish universities or companies. Is that not what it is doing rather than helping the Minister for Defence to develop a defence capability?
