Citizens' assembly on Irish neutrality a possibility, says Taoiseach

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that Ireland has the longest unbroken record of peacekeeping, but “we do need a discussion on this.”

A citizens' assembly may be held on Irish neutrality, the Taoiseach has told the Dáil.

Micheál Martin said Ireland has “never been politically neutral” and a discussion on military non-alignment could take place after the war in Ukraine has ended.
