Military Neutrality
Dail Éireann — 2025-02-26
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

The Government is waging a very thinly veiled stealth war against Irish neutrality. The move to remove the triple lock is part of that very conscious and deliberate campaign by this Government to undermine our traditional neutrality. Can the Tánaiste please explain why the Government is getting rid of the triple lock? Is it not clearly just a move to undermine Ireland's traditional neutrality and involve us in the wars of big powers?
