when we're going about this in the future, and they'll all be part of any future decision making process.

Look, I mean, at the end of the day, do we want Vladimir Putin or the leader of China or indeed the leader of the United Kingdom?

Are we going to maintain and sustain a situation where they decide what we do or where our Irish troops go to partake in peacekeeping missions?

It's really farcical.

And, you know, I go back to what I said at the outset.

It's 2014 was the last time one of these missions was approved by the United Nations.

So it's just not sustainable.

I do, of course.

But look, I mean, clearly Sinead says she doesn't trust the present Irish government.

And it's a fair statement out of her there now that she doesn't trust any future Irish government.

And she, I think, is in a party that aspires to being in government in the future in Ireland.

Now, that's a fair statement to say that she wouldn't trust herself.

I did not say that, Niall.

And I said that this... Sorry, I didn't.

No, I said... I did not.

I know, but you're putting words in my mouth that are not true, Niall.

I didn't interrupt you.

So to follow through Sinead's logic, which is crazy logic, in my opinion, is you will have a government in the future in Ireland that nobody can trust.

And we'd rather trust Vladimir Putin's judgment in relation to all of this.

Like this is just crazy logic out of the Social Democrats.
