Seanad debates

Address by President of the European Parliament.
Fine Gael has raised the notion of reviewing of the triple lock mechanism. Last week we sent 500 troops to Liberia under the UN banner but we cannot send troops to Macedonia, a potential future member of the EU, because the Chinese influenced the Security Council not to formulate a resolution. We must examine this issue because fundamental internal reform is required in the United Nations and as a neutral country with great experience of peace keeping, we must play our role. We must act in Europe, not just other parts of the world.
