Military Neutrality: Motion.
We must have a policy which allows us to take some action in such situations. What is even worse is that in recent times our so-called neutrality policy did not allow Irish forces to take part in peacekeeping duties in Macedonia, an issue raised previously by Senator Minihan. We must address these issues. Anyone discussing them, coming to a conclusion and defining a policy better have an answer to all of them. We hear about the views of the different political parties but I would like people to be brave enough to say what is a fair policy on neutrality, one which is morally and politically acceptable. However, no one has done this.
