- Middle East: Statements (2 Jul 2025)
Catherine Callaghan: To echo what all the speakers have stated today, the ongoing genocide in the Middle East is abhorrent. Innocent civilians are being starved to death. Parents have no baby formula for their infants. This is happening in our world today. While I acknowledge the Government's work so far, we need to keep the pressure on. I hear from concerned people every day across counties Carlow and...

Catherine Callaghan: I thank Dr. Berry. We are talking about the military advice and the quality of that military advice was mentioned previously. While I know it has not happened to date, I wish to talk about a hypothetical situation, because such situations are often discussed here. Hypothetically, we could have gone to Iraq. Hypothetically, if we did not have the triple lock and a mission was proposed, but...
- Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Jul 2025)
Catherine Callaghan: I want to go back to our professionalism. My question is for all of the witnesses. With deployment restricted to 12 members, in their experience or knowledge, have there been cases where a team of 12 professionally trained Irish soldiers have gone abroad and had to request help, support and equipment from other forces to carry out their work?
- Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Jul 2025)
Catherine Callaghan: I thank the witnesses. From a safety and security point of view, or even a welfare point of view, for our soldiers, would it be better for more than 12 people to go abroad on any mission? I imagine there will not be time for rest periods if there are just 12 members.
