Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

I agree to limit the request to the figure mentioned by the Minister; it probably should have been mentioned in the question. What contracts of such a substantial value, if any, have been signed since his coming to office? What major contracts are on hold or due to be signed in the coming months?

Will he take heed of the proposal that there needs to be more ethical purchasing of military hardware or other related goods for the Defence Forces to ensure companies backed by governments in other countries, such as the case of Israel raised in the previous Dáil, and countries using illegal munitions such as cluster bombs and white phosphorus in wars against civilians or any war in which they have been declared illegal are boycotted, or that there is at least a refusal to deal with those companies while the government backing them is engaged in such activities?
