Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Three defence Bills are promised. One is the defence (amendment) (discipline) Bill, a second is the Civil Defence board (dissolution) Bill and the third is the defence (amendment) Bill, which is in section C of the Government legislation programme. I ask the Taoiseach to intervene personally as the Army should never be politicised in this manner. It always has been the precedent that all party political representatives were invited to events involving the Army.
