Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I refute Deputy Daly's assertion that whatever NATO wants it gets. I assure her that is not the case. It would be wrong of me or any Member of this House to refer to our neutrality policy in loose terms. Our neutrality policy is and has been of the utmost importance in any decision that this Government, or any previous one, has made in this House. We have never gone beyond it. Our neutrality is often debated in this House and everyone has been given an opportunity to participate in those debates.
