Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Tánaiste. Can I ask the extent to which discussions have taken place with our EU colleagues with a view to speeding up the degree of support which may be available in the event of a rapid attack from some quarter, given as the Tánaiste has said, the situation in Ukraine and how quickly it happened and with no warning? It might be necessary to have some further assistance from our European colleagues in order to defend our own infrastructure in the event of an incursion.
