All member states of the European Union understand Ireland's position on neutrality. As is stated in the White Paper, "Ireland will continue to maintain a policy of military neutrality which is characterised by non-membership of military alliances and non-participation in common or mutual defence arrangements". I know that the Deputy might have concerns about the comments made by Mr. Juncker, but I can assure him that what I have said stands. The Government has no plans or proposals to change our neutrality policy in any manner or means.
