Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Cronin suggested that I made a light case for the PESCO projects. I did not. I was quite comprehensive and substantive. The Deputy's spokesperson could not make it yesterday; he asked for a debate at the committee but was not in a position to attend, which can happen. The bottom line is that I attended the committee yesterday for an hour and 45 minutes. There was no real argument about participating in an energy management course, the critical seabed infrastructure programme under PESCO or the cyber space programme. Is this Dáil saying that we should not participate in these programmes?
