TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has said he agrees with US President Donald Trump when he says Europe needs to start paying for its own defence.
Speaking at an event in Washington DC yesterday, Varadkar said Europe needs to stop relying on the US and “start looking after its own security”.
He added:
Though our nearest neighbour, the United Kingdom, may be leaving the European Union, we are a founder member of the single market, our single currency, the euro, and Pesco, Europe’s enhanced co-operation in defence and security.
We will always be at the heart of Europe, the common European home we helped to build.
When asked about Ireland’s participation in Pesco, the Taoiseach discussed the issue of European defence mechanisms.
Ireland signed up to Pesco, a European defence pact, earlier this year.
The Taoiseach has said the deal will not affect Ireland’s neutrality but some opposition TDs think otherwise. He did confirm that it will result in an increase in the funding Ireland commits to its military.
“It [Europe] is overly dependent on the US for defence and security and it shouldn’t be like that,” he said.
Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump threatened to withdraw support European countries that fail to pay up on their defence budget each year.
He claimed Germany and other NATO members “owe billions” for falling short of spending targets, stating that “some friends and enemies” had “taken advantage” of the US on trade and on military.

Probably a large number of people clustered around the “just turned 18″ group, representing all of those aged 12 and upwards.
The “18 yr olds” (ahem!) are finished after 20 secs
A lot of that 9 minute 16 seconds must be made up of looking for the ‘one’ to watch. Or else we’re quick and greedy and going for a sneaky second!

I knew I forgot to do something today !

I was cracking one off over PornHub the other day and all of a sudden my Mum walks in.
Not the best way to find out she’s a porn star.
How do they know the ages? Is it not a free site.
Worried?
“Is it not a free site?”
As if you don’t already know!
Does that guy in the picture have a third arm or something????
I believe the the computer device is an interactive model.
An USB dildo I think lol.
Xhamster is much better.
I’ve never heard of this site!!!!!!
I shall research it in detail and report my findings post haste!
Post haste? You must be 18 then
18′s an all too distant memory Dermot
The average user spends 9 minutes and 16 seconds per visit, yeap, that sounds about right in the following steps, surf around, select 2-3 videos, browse quickly, select “the video”, if no suitable video is found, search a favourite, engage, pause, go to journal.ie.
My thumbs feel dirty now that I am replying to commenters who recently visited pornhub before “coming” here
Sounds like a sticky situation.
Phew! I’m 47 and they seem to have omitted me from their stats.
“The over-65 group spend the longest, over 10 minutes”
Well, they gotta wait for the tablet to kick in, innit?
Tablet? The ipad or the Viagra?
Neither, it takes them 10 mins to figure out they have logged on to the wrong site and its not the daniel o’donnell fanclub , or the joe duffy page on the rte website !
Why do they have twitter and Facebook share options…
I’m quite sure you wouldn’t want to broadcast that your having a one in the bed sex romp..
Mind you though,what a frape :)
Half the age plus seven …
9 mins 16secs eh? i bet sasha grey could do it in under 5 mins..easy.
It’s a wonder that the Immigrant Council and “Turn off the red light”, aren’t trying to stop us from watching porn.
Saying ‘us’ makes me a little uncomfortable.
@The Raven,
Do you really expect me to believe that you’ve never watched porn?
Some adult porn is still illegal here amongst adults, sounds bad me saying that…
Someone please hit me for saying that, bad joke lol.
that survey is a load of w*nk
At least the viris they catch on them site’s, won’t kill them
Cant complain , pornhub has a decent gay section. But there are better sites for all mwahaha Xhamster Myvidster
Lol 9min on AVERAGE for a wank not bad!!
I have invented a computer screen wiper for watchers of any porn site, you just clip it on and let it work away and USB vibrators lol.
9 minutes and 16 seconds? What are the at for the nine minutes?!
Wxxkers
Pornhub is nowhere as good as mushroom tube
apparently lots of lads cant deal with the presence of gay porn near their sacred straight porn so maybe they’d be glad of the tip
it just takes the over 60s a few more seconds, almost a minute, to prepare and release the one eyed monster
The one eyed monster with the dribbly eye
