Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Whose side is Deputy Murphy on in this? This Government knows where we stand at the moment. Any policy that the Government is involved in implementing involving our Defence Forces or any other aspect of our public services will of course be consistent with our Constitution, the principles in our Constitution and the policies of this and previous Governments. In any debate that takes place in the future regarding our neutrality, if such a debate is to begin of course the people will be consulted. I again put it to Deputy Murphy that the very policies we are implementing to make a difference to those who are in the greatest need at the moment and the very aspects of the European Union co-operation that we are using are policies the Deputy has been against for his entire career. The Deputy cannot have it both ways.
