Nordic Battle Group: Motion (5 Apr 2007)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: These motions are a further signal of the demise of Irish neutrality. No one has done more to diminish the neutrality of this State than the current partnership of Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There is a problem with bored weapons which are for sale in various places in the European Union and, as I have heard recently, in this State.
