I'm not that fussed about neutrality if I'm honest, but I don't see how giving China, the US, Russia and our old friends in Britain veto power over what we do or don't do is neutral in any sense of the word.

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.

Also the notion that without the triple lock in 2003 we would've invaded Iraq (tbf she didn't say we would just that we could and it was left hanging there)... Ffs like

Absolutelty. Trump forced Ireland to abandon the people of south Lebanon to Israel occupation. That's the triple lock right there.
