Military Neutrality
Dail Éireann — 2026-05-07
============================================================

Thomas Byrne (FF), Meath East

All deployments of Irish troops abroad under this legislation have to be consistent with the principles of the UN Charter and international law. I have already said that I agree with the Deputy in relation to the Constitution. However, I suggest that nobody in this House agrees with the decision of the UN Security Council to end peacekeeping duties in Lebanon.
