Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-17
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

If he had a free hand, I am of the view that the Taoiseach would like to sign Ireland up to NATO. However, he knows that he does not have a free hand so instead he wants to chip away bit by bit at what is left of our neutrality. Will he commit to giving people a referendum to enshrine neutrality in the Constitution in order to stop it from being a policy matter that can be changed?
