With regard to the discussion on crisis management attended by the UN Under Secretary General for Peacekeeping and the NATO Deputy Secretary General, I gather that involved a reflection on operational co-operation and neutral support between the EU, the UN and NATO, both at a strategic level and also on the ground where operations from each may be deployed in the same theatre of operations. What view did the Minister take in terms of an Irish context and were any changes mooted? I know this is an informal meeting where decisions are not taken but was anything suggested as being worthy of a decision at a formal meeting and can the Minister outline when that might happen?
