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

I did not imply anything. I stated that this will be an open and transparent process, which will use basic infrastructure in the Defence Forces to be able to test, develop and design new products that can be useful to us. We have made clear that it will not involve facilitating the testing of weapons or munitions. That is not what this process is about. I encourage Deputies to read the White Paper as that is made clear in the document.
