Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

In an earlier contribution, I asked about the warships that were at the quay in Cork. As a neutral country, why do we not assert on all occasions the fact we are a neutral country? We should be proud of it. The Taoiseach told me it was not mentioned at the World Economic Forum, good, bad or indifferent.

On another point, if there are strict and robust sanctions, how is it that we can import such an amount of corn that it drives down the price of corn here for farmers who have suffered due to the cost of fertiliser, seed and everything else? Those are my two questions.
