Micheál Martin: I did not interrupt the Deputy. Can I have the floor, please? We could walk out for the speeches of ten ambassadors or permanent representatives at the UN because there are many countries whose policies we do not endorse. If everybody was to adopt a policy of walking out on one other's speeches, however, we would not have the UN General Assembly. With all its faults and flaws, the UN is,...

Matt Carthy: Licences for the exportation of what are called dual-use items, which are items that have a potential military use, are sanctioned by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, but only after consultation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, according to the regulations.
