- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Military Neutrality (18 Sep 2025)
Paul Murphy: In answer to Deputy Clendennen's question, there is a cynical campaign of misinformation. It is coming from the Government. It is suggesting that we are going to get rid of the triple lock but there is no need to worry because we are going to stay within the framework of the UN Charter. That is not honest, unless the Tánaiste does not understand the UN Charter. There are two...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Military Neutrality (18 Sep 2025)
Paul Murphy: That is not accidental because he is talking about the vague, broad principles in Article 2 of the UN Charter in contrast to giving a commitment to stay within the articles of the UN Charter, which are exactly the same as the triple lock.

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Military Neutrality (18 Sep 2025)
Paul Murphy: I will bluntly ask this question of the Tánaiste. Where does he want to send troops that he cannot currently send them under the triple lock? Does he agree with the Taoiseach, Deputy Micheál Martin, and the call of the so-called coalition of the willing, where he is willing to send Irish troops on the ground, presumably without an agreed UN peacekeeping mission? Otherwise, that...
