Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have seen a structural and dramatic change to the mission, but this remains a peace observation mission. We will review the weaponry that is available to our troops and to others who are working with us. If Ireland was to pull out of this, it would result in this mission having a destabilised future which, in turn, would contribute negatively to instability in the region.
