Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)

Does the Minister accept, as many are now saying in Britain, including the British political establishment, and throughout the world, that the western military intervention in Libya goes way beyond the remit of a claimed humanitarian mission and is actually about regime change, as stated explicitly by Mr. David Cameron, President Nicholas Sarkozy and President Barack Obama? Will we state clearly that we will not involve ourselves in supporting, in any shape or form, an aggressive military intervention to secure oil interests in Libya?
