Seanad debates

Friday, 21 March 2003

The question of Irish neutrality has to be debated seriously. Many speakers on the Government side referred to our neutrality. It was said that we are neutral, that we are not neutral and that there is no such thing as neutrality. I was absolutely shocked by what some Senators said. It is time the Minster of State and the Taoiseach came clean on our position in regard to neutrality. This issue was hotly debated recently when we voted on the Nice treaty. Irish neutrality is important and if there is a change in Government thinking in regard to it, I ask the Minister of State to inform us about it. Is our neutrality gone? Where do we now stand in regard to it?
