Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I am trying to square the circle following the Minister of State's reply in regard to Article 3.2. How can anybody look Chancellor Angela Merkel in the eye, as the Taoiseach did, and sign up to something that has to be of binding force and permanent character, and then say in the House that future Oireachtais can actually repeal and amend it? There seems to be a disingenuous dimension to this. The situation is unclear.
