Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

If the Ceann Comhairle would ask the hecklers in the Front Benches of the Government parties to desist I will be able to explain why I believe these reports should not be taken without debate. The fact is this is only a figleaf for what quite clearly is now a NATO-led operation with the United States and Britain in Afghanistan. We need a full debate on these reports on the floor of the Dáil. Make no mistake, we are talking here about Irish neutrality.
