Last week, Ukrainian military officers were assessed by NATO assessors at Lynch Camp, Kilworth, County Cork. Many people will be amazed to hear that. No doubt, the Government will say it is within the law and falls under the Partnership for Peace arrangements. If it can happen when the current legal arrangements are in place, I can only imagine what might happen when the Government changes those arrangements and scraps the triple lock. The Government is chipping away at so-called Irish neutrality every week. When the Business Committee meets this week, I request that it discuss the scheduling of a debate on the triple lock before the Christmas recess.
