Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, RISE) | Oireachtas source

I am sharing time. What we see here is an exercise in boiling the frog of neutrality, that is, just turning up the temperature, bit by bit, and hoping the people will not notice; removing any real content from the word "neutrality" while keeping simply the word; getting rid of the triple lock, which, as the Tánaiste said himself, is at the core of our neutrality; and signing up for more and more of these European militarisation projects of PESCO and the European Defence Agency. The report to the Tánaiste, which he is seeking to have endorsed by the Dáil, among other things puts more misinformation into the public domain. It states that the current system, that is, the triple lock, effectively allows UN Security Council members to bind Ireland’s hands in its international engagement through the exercise of a veto or indeed the threat of same. This is misinformation that has been put out repeatedly to the public. Now, the Tánaiste is trying to put it into wording agreed to by the Dáil.
