is mcentee speaking as minister for foreign affairs or defence when she proposes getting drawn into the mire so that soldiers can save for a deposit on their house, doesn't seem like a good pair of ministries to combine when they want to actually do something with the latter

A number of them will likely be killed, and they will deserve it when it happens
Irish troops should be deployed to Lebanon as part of a new EU mission and be involved in both peacekeeping and peace enforcement duties, according to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Helen McEntee.

He's saying this in character as 'John Banville.' The flesh-and-blood John Banville is almost incontinent in the number of petitions and open letters he signs.
