Constitutional Amendments
Dail Éireann — 2024-04-30
============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I accept that Deputy McDonald's sincerely-held view is that a change to the triple lock alters military neutrality. I accept that this is her opinion; I do not accept it is a fact. We have a difference in opinion on this. I do not believe it does and neither does the Tánaiste, the Government or the consultative forum. It is entirely possible to be a country that is militarily neutral and that allows its Dáil and Government make decisions regarding peacekeeping without the need for recourse to the UN.
