Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

When our peacekeepers are in Mali, the Golan Heights, southern Lebanon or anywhere else in the world, I want them be well equipped. I want them to have modern equipment and software systems on their computers that keep them as safe as possible. I want to ensure the technology that is available internationally is also available for our people. That is not an arms industry. It is ensuring that Ireland has capacity and a transparent approach. When there are industries that we tap into and when there are technologies that we need to keep our people safe, we need to be open to looking at that.
