Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have a query on section 9, to which I am not opposed. I raised this question on Labour Court findings on a number of occasions and I did not submit an amendment on this occasion.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: This is one question on which we can all agree. Is it intended to increase the detachment even though the UN Ebola virus mission is suggesting that the outbreak may be over by August? The Minister mentioned that the next detachment is going out in May. It may be important to consider increasing the number of personnel, given that there may be other outbreaks in the future. In what way...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I hope my question did not suggest what the Minister said it did, namely, that there was a hidden agenda. That was not my intention in tabling the question, rather I was trying to find out what had been discussed. For instance, given that the Council meeting was held in Riga, was there a discussion of the Maltese navy and its call for help from the European Union in dealing with the...
