The views expressed by the Minister for Lands did not represent a change in policy.
In answer to an earlier question this afternoon, Question 29, the Taoiseach said that our membership of the European Economic Community would involve a change of our role in the United Nations. Would the Minister for External Affairs indicate to the House how he envisages our change of role is to take place?
That does not arise out of this question. This is in relation to the Minister for Lands.
It does arise.
