I raised with the Taoiseach last week my concern and that of my party about Government proposals to dismantle the triple lock. I emphasise again we in the Labour Party would oppose any attempt to dismantle or undermine the triple lock. Given President Trump's appalling attempts to humiliate Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, which we saw last Friday, it is all the more important now we stand in solidarity with Ukraine but also that we reaffirm our commitment to the international rules-based order, multilateralism and the principles of the United Nations that Trump seems intent on tearing up. With that in mind, I am concerned, when the Taoiseach says dismantling the triple lock will not compromise Irish neutrality, about what exactly he is proposing. We understand the legislation will replace the requirement for UN sanction with a test-----
