Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

This is a procedural motion to allow for 40 minutes to discuss a defence motion which, as Deputy Howlin said, has not been produced yet. We have heard in the media that it was before Cabinet. That is not good enough. The implications of this motion, if it is to come before the House, are huge. I am not going to go into the specifics of it because we are now discussing the procedural motion. We in this House are supposed to have a triple lock. We cannot take a decision of such huge significance, which undermines our neutrality and changes our policy, in 40 minutes.
