Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

On the issue of the link with national parliaments, the chairs of foreign affairs and defence committees of national parliaments meet every six months. This is a good process which could be developed in the Union. It is a matter for national parliaments, including the Oireachtas, to take a more active interest in the relevant issues and deal with the specific concerns raised by the Deputy.
