Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

We will see by the end of the night whether it has been a PR boon or not. There is no one at any border. There are no checkpoints at the Border. I remember when I met a former British Prime Minister in my time as Taoiseach. There were blazing headlines across the British press, saying the frigates are going to France. Does anyone remember that headline? Can the Deputies not stand back and reflect a bit? Do not get taken in by The Daily Telegraph is my advice.
