Foreign Conflicts: Motion.
I am particularly concerned about sentiments expressed in recent days that by facilitating the landing of US troops in Shannon Airport it in some way represents participation. Senator Norris talked about it being an illegal act. He even referred to a Member on this side of the House as not understanding the rule of law. The Attorney General has examined this and it is something of which the Minister of State is aware and about which he has talked. If the Attorney General thought there was a difficulty with it, a resolution would have been brought before the Dáil but that did not happen. There is no breach in this regard.
