Richard Boyd Barrett claims panels at security forum ‘packed to the rafters’ with people from Nato
He alleged that the forum to begin later this week is “dripping, packed to the rafters with Nato employees, people who’ve worked with Nato, people associated with the military industrial complex, generals, brigadiers, lieutenant commanders of the military” and pro-Nato and pro-EU militarisation academics.
He said the security threats Ireland faced had changed, listing cybersecurity, international terrorism and espionage. He said representatives of the Government would have “no less than five opportunities where people will be indulged with lengthy uninterrupted speeches from the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and the Green Party leader yet all the while Opposition voices are expected to sit on their hands while Government speak from their taxpayer-funded pulpit.”
