Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)

I wish to ask a number of questions in respect of Question No. 7 on the mission to Chad. Since there is confusion about whether this is a UN or European mission, it is important that the Minister of State clarifies the situation for the public.

Will the Minister of State revisit the EU term "battle groups"? The Minister for Defence, Deputy O'Dea, shares my concern in this regard. The name may be changed at Government level.
