Neutrality stance to come under fire

DEFENCE Minister Michael Smith will come under fire from young Fianna Fáil members today over the Government’s neutrality stance.

The use of Shannon Airport by the US military is expected to be a contentious issue during the debate on the future of Ireland’s neutrality at the Fianna Fáil national youth conference.

Ógra Fianna Fáil leaders say the session will feature pro and anti viewpoints on neutrality and military alliances being voiced.
