Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Let me repeat to the Deputy what I said in my original reply: the Treaty of Lisbon does not provide for the creation of a European army or conscription of any military formation. Any change to this position would require a treaty change. Let me state absolutely that no change is proposed in any manner or means. As I said in my original statement on the President of the European Commission, it is not something new as we have heard him say this previously in other fora. However, there is no such proposed change.
