Keep the Triple Lock. If it is dismantled there will be no impediment to deploying Irish troops to EU battlegroup and NATO-led missions.

The Roadshow video is worth watching for the wealth of information on neutrality and the Triple Lock. https://t.co/avMTgSG37z

@colinivan cutting through a lot of the noise.

'In an age defined by geopolitical uncertainty and strategic anxiety, retaining the triple lock is not an act of nostalgia. It is an act of caution. And caution, at times like these, remains a virtue.'

As the Government pushes ahead with plans to remove the Triple Lock, they are cynically using Ireland's withdrawal from the EU Irini mission to support their agenda. Unfortunately the media has rehearsed their line without digging deeper 1/3

Are you listening @fiannafailparty @FineGael @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD

100,000 workers calling for a referendum on the Triple Lock

[TradeUnionistsfortheTripleLock @BrayWARdisplay]

1/ Well done @forsa_union_ie
“Conference directs Forsa National Executive to call upon the Irish government to have a national referendum before making any changes to or abolishing their triple lock mechanism. 👇

[TradeUnionistsfortheTripleLock @BrayWARdisplay]

2/ Furthermore that this branch directs the national executive committee to urge the wider Trade Union movement, civic organisations& elected representatives to support a call for a referendum as a matter of democratic principle & and respect for previous commitments made👇

1/ @ForsaCork
Conference calls on Fórsa to send a strong message that Ireland’s Neutrality is a message of peace & the resolution of conflict by means of peaceful dialogue and negotiation. This conference condemns the reckless drive by the government to remove the #TripleLock👇

[patrick bresnihan @PBresnihan]

The public debate on neutrality & the Triple Lock has been limited. Media have repeatedly platformed a small group of experts & commentators, while specialists in international law, peace studies and the arms trade have been ignored.

This Forum aims to rectify that imbalance.

REVEALED: It took 18 months, and multiple FOI battles, but we can now reveal Ireland approved €20 million in military-capable dual-use exports to the IDF and Israeli Ministry of Defense during the height of its military assault on Gaza in 2024.

Excited to be speaking at the annual James Connolly Festival tomorrow (Saturday) at 4pm in the New Theatre.

Title: 'Imperialism, Sovereignty and the spectre of neutrality'.

Sound scarier and more serious than it will be.

More dishonesty.

Removing the Triple Lock will undo Ireland's legislative commitment to only deploy defence forces overseas for UN sanctioned peacekeeping missions.

Operating within the UN system has served us well for 66 years and is more important today than ever before.

They'll have Irish 18 year olds annexing and genociding Lebanon and providing security for the resorts they'll build on the rubble in Gaza in 5 years if we drop the triple lock

Ireland’s neutrality was borne out of a long history of anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggle..

As Ardnacrusha gets spun by everyone from tech boosters to nuclear advocates, let's be clear.

Ardnacrusha was built by the ESB, the first public, national energy utility in the world, *because* the private sector did not consider such projects to be profitable.
