I wish to make a point about the triple lock arrangement. The Minister will be aware of the comments made in the other House by our party spokesperson and in this House by Senator Minihan on 1 April this year. We need to debate the future of Ireland's participation in UN missions. Ireland could not send troops to Macedonia, a place that has as much, if not more, connection with Ireland as Liberia, because one member of the Security Council, China, took umbrage at Macedonia's support for the exiled leader of Tibet. The deployment of our troops should not be based solely on the veto of one or two members of the UN Security Council. If the Dáil and the Government wish to send troops to parts of the world which are trying to achieve peace and security and, therefore, to endorse the UN Charter, they should be able to do so irrespective of whether there is a UN resolution.
