Brian Hayes (Fine Gael)

That is very useful. I thank the Minister. I have one other point on this section. The troops may only be sent "but only if, the contingent or member is not so deployed until a resolution under subsection (1) of this section has been passed by Dáil Éireann approving of their despatch for such service". It is absolutely clear. If the Government needed to take a decision in July, August or September on the despatch of a number of troops to an emergency situation, the Minister appears to suggest that the Dáil would need to be recalled to give its approval.
