@BarryAndrewsMEP @caulmick Fianna Fail liars also said they would enact the Occupied Territories Bill incl. services and build 40,000 houses in 2024 They got fewer votes than Sinn Féin and DID NOT say they'd end the Triple Lock PUT IT TO THE PEOPLE #DefendTheTripleLock #LateLate #twip #RTEPt #coybig 🇮🇪

Fianna Fail. "End the Triple Lock so working class Irish kids get the chance to DIE in corporate wars." Everything he says here was rebutted by MICHEÁL MARTIN! #BBUK #liveline #rtept #latelate #DefendTheTripleLock

👉 No other country in the world gives Trump 🇺🇸, Putin 🇷🇺 and Xi 🇨🇳 a veto over their own foreign policy. The Irish 'Triple Lock' is the opposite of national sovereignty. The world has drastically changed. Irish military neutrality remains steadfast but must adapt. .@sinnfeinireland seem to want Irish soldiers confined to their barracks. No young person wants to join such an army. Irish peacekeepers have a proud record around the world and are now needed more than ever. I welcome today's reform by the Irish parliament 🇮🇪.

It will probably be this afternoon when we get the official record of the vote for the Triple Lock in the Dail last night (at 8am today, they haven't even uploaded the transcript of the earlier debate). They voted 79-71 (150 in total) to end the Triple Lock. With 174 TDs (or 173 without the Ceann Comhairle who didn't vote), there were 23 missing which apparently include likely FF TD dissenters John McGuinness & Willie O'Dea, we need to see the official record to confirm. Within FF, there is serious unease about Dismantling the Triple Lock with probably 10-15 of their 48 TDs unhappy. There is no guarantee the Government will have the numbers when this law comes up for its final approval in the Dail before Christmas. #DefendTheTripleLock

@RobGilbey @MaryLouMcDonald You are loyal to Britain. You don't represent any Irish Defence Force. The #TripleLock can be put to the people. #DefendTheTripleLock #TonightVMTV #liveline #rtept #latelate #twip #Traitors in the Dáil

@MaryLouMcDonald You need to start a petition to give to our president. This is most definitely a matter of national importance. They can't be allowed to get away with this!

71+79 = 150 votes Out of 173 TDs (174 minus Ceann Comhairle) How many pairings were there? (where someone voting for, agrees with someone voting against, and both don't turn up). #DefendTheTripleLock

Does anyone remember removing the triple lock as being part of either FF or FGs manifesto? I don’t.

This is a lie. The UN General Assembly can authorise peacekeeping missions by a majority vote via the Uniting for Peace mechanism. It is specifically designed for scenarios where the UN Security Council is deadlocked or a single member is wielding its veto.

The triple lock was good enough to reassure (trap) voters when Fianna Fáil needed Nice (2002) and Lisbon (2009) passed. Now it’s an obstacle to be removed. What changed Micheál? the principle? or its political usefulness? If you want to scrap that safeguard, have the decency to put it to the people first. You will rue this day… @fiannafailparty @MichealMartinTD #TheTripleLock #Ireland

In order to retain control of capital the financial class in the West want ethnic Europeans conscripted. They are ethnically cleansing all natives to create a nationless federation. Martin needs to remove the triple lock to get Irish boys to die for NATO. It’s treason.

Only the people can give the government permission to do something as monumental as this. It is us who will suffer the consequences, not them. We want a referendum. #KeepTheTripleLock #SaveOurNeutrality

Is scrapping the triple lock Micheál’s audition for a bigger EU job? It was very useful when @fiannafailparty needed Nice, 2002 & Lisbon, 2009 passed. It’s terribly inconvenient now. How did “sensible reform” of the triple lock become removing its UN safeguard? Ireland’s neutrality and safeguards should not be one mans retirement gift to himself. #TripleLock #Ireland
