Micheál Martin: No, it is not.

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

Paul Murphy: It is. There is no such thing as a veto. It is an absolute red herring in this debate. The other thing that is dragged in as an example of why we need to do it is the idea that we may need to go and get our citizens from abroad but are currently blocked from doing so. Again, that is a red herring and is not true. In the 2006 Act there is a series of exceptions set out where the triple...

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

Micheál Martin: The Deputy hates when the truth is told. In reality, the Government's proposed modification of the triple lock does not impact in any way on our policy of military neutrality. In fact, the proposed changes will serve to reinforce Ireland’s ability to pursue an independent foreign policy, by removing the power of UN Security Council permanent members to veto our national sovereign...

Micheál Martin: They will identify the United States all of the time. That is fine. I do not believe US foreign policy is correct in all areas, but I recognise the huge Irish-American diaspora.

I do not believe in doing that....

Micheál Martin: -----in referendums and so on. Third, in the view of the Government, the motion fails to adequately reflect the reality of the situation in terms of the use of Shannon Airport. I know this is a hardy perennial for the Deputies opposite, but as the Government has repeatedly set out, all foreign military aircraft wishing to overfly, or land in, the State require diplomatic clearance.
