Army participation in divisive celebrations

Summary

Treacy challenged the rejection of his urgent question about the Army’s proposed involvement in divisive celebrations on 11 November. The Chair said his general explanation applied to all the rejected questions and declined to elaborate.

I should like clarification of the position in regard to why the Private Notice Question I tabled concerning the involvement of our national Army in divisive celebrations was ruled out?

I have given a general answer and I am not going to repeat it. I ask the Deputy to resume his seat.
