- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)

- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)

- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)

- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: I apologise.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Michael Ring: Deputy Murphy has the floor but I would like him to tone down his comments a small bit. At the same time, I expect the Tánaiste to do the same.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: I appreciate that. I apologise.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Paul Murphy: The Tánaiste does not like hearing the truth. He tells us today that the proposed modification of the triple lock "does not impact in any way on our policy of military neutrality". That was not always his position. It is the case that in 2013 he said that the triple lock is "at the core" of our neutrality, not something peripheral or separate, but at the core of our neutrality. He...
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: Yes.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Paul Murphy: That is a very dishonest presentation because people would be left with the impression that if Ireland wants to send troops abroad somewhere, we have to go to the UN Security Council and seek a vote of the council to authorise that but that is not what happens. What the triple lock is about is saying that we can send troops on peacekeeping missions where they are authorised by the Dáil,...
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: The UN Security Council.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Paul Murphy: Wrong. Again, the Tánaiste is engaging in a very dishonest debate because he is not referring to the Defence (Amendment) Act 2006 which changed that. This is not about the UN Security Council. The notion of any country having a veto is a complete and utter red herring. The 2006 Act, which is explicitly about dealing with this issue, changed it. That legislation says "UN approval",...
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: Not true.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Paul Murphy: That is true.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: Again, the Deputy is talking without having seen our legislation. Our legislation can be placed within the UN framework but the Deputy has jumped to conclusions again.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Paul Murphy: No. The Tánaiste is presenting it as if we rely on a decision of the Security Council but that is not true.
- Neutrality and the Triple Lock: Motion [Private Members] (29 May 2024)
Micheál Martin: There has not been a peacekeeping mission since 2014.
