This is all a bit mad what's happening in Ballyheigue
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.

This argument about the government potentially sending people to non human rights compliant operations post triple lock removal is based on the fact that we previously sent a limited number of troops to do... humanitarian work?!

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.
A woman weeps over the genocide in Gaza as she waits to be arrested as a terrorist for holding up a piece of cardboard. Parliament Square today.

They'll label Sally Rooney as a terrorist but the types of people the who led arson attacks on hotels or blocked, attacked or doxed the RNLI are people with legitimate concerns who must be listened to.
Irish author Sally Rooney’s books will no longer be supplied in the UK by her publisher after UK anti-terror legislation left it unable to pass on earnings from sales of her work 👉 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

Under the current UK legislation the works of Sally Rooney now can't be published in the United Kingdom but those of Adolf Hitler can be. www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

The Brits have completely and utterly lost their fucking minds. That a Labour government brought this in should be a source of deep and abiding shame to all involved. #StandWithSally
It's as if these people are on a mission to make themselves look as bad as possible in every and any situation
