(1. Touched down in #Dublin🇮🇪earlier today. Good to be in #Ireland for a few days. Been following some commentary on the Consultative Forum closely,disappointed at some of the false binaries we are imposing on ourselves: pro-#NATO/anti-NATO or pro-#neutrality/anti-neutrality.
(2.What we need is better knowledge&depth as well as workable #security options that public want to unify behind & sooner rather than later. Inducing more polarization only weakens #Ireland's national #security further--diametric opposite to what we are looking for.
(3. If politicians, academics&policy experts fail to help in developing options along these lines&if some chose to side-track themselves with bitter disputes or false binaries then I think this will be a big opportunity missed to improve matters & history will be a harsh judge.
(4. Drawing on my experiences, what I've learned working in #Nordic and #Baltic states, I look forward to some constructive discussions where we can think about some better #security options at the #Oireachtas Committee on #European Affairs in the morning.
(5. Anyway, better leave it here for now because I'll have to catch at Dart soon on a humid rainy June day in #Dublin. Nostalgically reminds me of the good old days, the days when I was younger, when I grew up.
