Clare Daly (Dublin North, Socialist Party)

The question is that this was the starting point of the international intervention under the guise of the UN. Effectively, everything was left to NATO, which had troops on the ground and basically outsourced security and peacekeeping, funded the Transitional National Council and is now intervening to deal with the fallout. It is not very democratic, particularly when a majority of the world's population opposed or abstained in regard to the original resolution to move into Libya.

Will the Tánaiste comment on the question of whether, if this request comes back, it will be dealt with? If the UN asks him, will he say "yes"?
