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

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. 👇
3/ Fórsa must stand in the tradition of James Connolly were opposed the war mongering that led to World War I as an organisation representing Working people. We must also act in that proud tradition.
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👇
2/ which was previously described by government parties as “fundamental to Irish Neutrality” the drive to militarism by the EU will if unchecked - lead to a major conflict that will result - in destruction and mass death. 👇
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.

Devastating new U.S. sanctions against Cuba have international reach. Why does the US fear Cuba and socialism so much? A small island nation of 12million people. is a threat to the US???? https://t.co/BbkP2pCZVi 🇨🇦🇨🇺
🚨 ITALY JUST SHUT DOWN FOR PALESTINE! 🇮🇹🇵🇸
Nationwide general strike in 75+ cities! Millions flood the streets of Milan, Naples, Florence & Turin.
Country completely paralyzed for 24 hours transport, schools, ports, logistics ALL stopped.
Port workers blocked arms shipments to Israel. Police fired tear gas in Milan after clashing with protesters near the central station.
Why? Meloni refused to recognize Palestine → the people said NO MORE.
Their demands:
1️⃣ Recognize the State of Palestine
2️⃣ Halt ALL arms sales to Israel
3️⃣ Sanctions on Netanyahu’s government
4️⃣ End the genocide in Gaza NOW
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.
Join Trade Unions & Workers-led Actions on 14th May in Solidarity with Palestine
Palestinian BDS National Committee is leading the global call on civil society organisations, student unions & broader
solidarity movement to take action on May 14th in line with Palestinian demands
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.
