Debate Denied in Seanad as Government ram through “dangerous” new military agreement
Senator Alice-Mary Higgins: “Peace or peace-keeping not mentioned once in PESCO document”
Today in Seanad Éireann, Senator Alice-Mary Higgins called for an urgent debate on the Government decision to join the Permanent Structured Cooperation, PESCO. This call for debate on a "dangerous and rushed decision which will deeply undermine Ireland's neutrality and crucial peacebuilding role" was voted down by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil and the Seanad will not be allowed to have their say before the decision is made.
