Éamon Ó Cuív has hit out at Tánaiste Micheál Martin’s plans for a forum on security policy, saying the Dáil is the proper place to have such a debate.

The Fianna Fáil TD from Galway West said his party leader had brought his plans forward for next month’s Consultative Forum on International Security Policy without any debate taking place in the party.

“I am not over enamoured with this forum,” Ó Cuív told the Business Post.
