Programme for Government
Dail Éireann — 2025-02-12

That is the reality and the Deputy knows that. The triple lock is essentially about taking the Security Council out of the decision making. The Dáil has to decide and the Government of the day has to decide and anything we decide has to be in accordance with military neutrality and our Constitution.
