We haven't had a UN Security Council mandate for the deployment of troops for many, many years.
And we should be able to decide our own affairs in the context of the deployment of our troops.
Well, I think that's an assessment that can be made when we reform the triple lock and when we create a new mechanism that we've decided where the Dáil and government would decide on an informed basis how we deploy our troops.
And obviously, that will be a matter for future deployment.
But I don't think we should rely on, you know, a power somewhere else to dictate how we should deploy our troops in a world that's changing.
But look, we value debate as a party and I look forward to discussions this evening.
Thank you very much.
Well, if there isn't compliance, then there'll be an escalation under the service level agreement.
I fully support the Minister for Health's work to drive reform and compliance around the public-only consultant contract.
This has been signed up by consultants in the Rotunda and many other hospitals to deliver better public health care, to deliver better, more inclusive, accessible maternity care for women and babies.
And the returning can't have an a la carte approach when it comes to contracts that have been signed by doctors in their hospital.
And also they should not be seeking to circumvent what they know is very clearly a public only contract.
And that's why we expect compliance and we expect implementation of the public only consultant contract.
Well, I don't accept that wider point because, again, this is an attempt by the board and the management of the Rotunda to circumvent what's a very clear direction of public health policy, what's a very clear direction in terms of the service level agreement.
Service level agreement is in return for public funding.
There's compliance around the set of direction, the principles under which maternity care and health care is delivered within the hospital system.
There was a very clear transition arrangement from 2023 to the end of 2025, which gave hospitals the space to reposition their wider work stream to deliver the public-only consultant contract.
We've had strong uptake of that by doctors, and we can't have cherry-picking of public contracts.
This is a critical part of Sláinte care, delivering a universal health system, and I support the Minister in that regard.
Absolutely does.
