Peadar Tóibín: “Ireland has an internationally recognised competency in terms of peace.”

In terms of capital infrastructure spends last year there was about €1.6bn of overspend.

Indeed, I would say the Government is incinerating taxpayers' money at a rate in those terms.

He called for an additional €2.5bn to be spent on defence.

There's a complete lack of accountability in that sector. There's an enormous amount of waste.
