I have two final points. They are very important. There are questions around peace, neutrality and Ireland's role. The Minister of State stated that "Ireland will only participate in those aspects of Operation Sophia which are authorised in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions". Does he anticipate that aspects of Operation Sophia will not be in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions? If we are only participating in half a project, but that project is in breach of UN Security Council resolutions, it raises a real concern.

I must mention the vital concerns regarding Libya-----
