The Triple Lock was promised to the lrish people to safeguard our neutrality. The government plans to scrap that promise by year end without putting it to the people.

The supranational Irish govt. campaign to dilute military neutrality by removing the Triple Lock of UN clearance is critically analysed in the Irish Examiner's editorial
www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/ourv...
www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/ourv...
Irish Examiner view: Triple lock debate an argument yet to be won
Wednesday's Dáil vote will do little to calm public concerns over the controversial change, with only 34% of poll respondents supporting the triple lock's removal

Come listen to the facts from a former Irish Defence Forces officer and now Senator @tomclonan.bsky.social.
The government should call a referendum on this, they do not have the right to bin our proud tradition of honest broker and peacekeeper!

The UN is the only game in town when it come to solving global conflicts.
Our efforts in Ireland should be to help reform the UN Security Council P5 veto.
But if we throw away our neutrality we will also ditch our proud reputation of honest broker, peacemaker and peacekeeper.

If Ireland did not have the Triple Lock, nothing would have stopped us from joining the US and UK in Iraq if govt had wished to.
FF/FG will tell us that it's more nuanced, but it is that simple.
They are taking the guardrails off Irish neutrality, with no public mandate to do so.
Shame on them.

Put it to the people in a plebiscite.
Despite all the government's years-long militaristic spin, we know what the result would be. In survey after survey, people say they support keeping the Triple Lock and Irish neutrality.
Everyone has to fight this, in every way we can.

A vote in the Dáil may trump the wishes of the country.

Outrageously the government proposes to guillotine the debate on scrapping the Triple Lock on Wednesday.
They refuse to put it to the people. Now they won't even allow a full debate in the Dáil.

And to be clear, the govnt is waging this misinformation campaign.
'A number of glaring myths & untruths are repeatedly being peddled in a public narrative designed to manufacture consent among the Irish people for ending our de-facto neutral status.'

The spin and misinformation around the triple lock is eye-watering
Suggesting there is ‘no link’ between the triple lock and our neutral status is akin to suggesting there is no link between the steering wheel and the brakes on a car, writes Senator Tom Clonan

F/FG are in the same camp as Rubio - claiming that the Triple Lock 'undermines Ireland's sovereignty' because of the required UN mandate for peacekeeping missions.
