Irish Neutrality League to protest triple lock changes upon relaunch

Opposition sources said that they believed that a combined effort would send a stronger message than individual parties opposing the Government

Currently, the triple lock mechanism only allows deployment of 12 or more troops where there is a UN mandate either from the UN Security Council or UN General Assembly, Irish Government approval, and a Dáil resolution.

A group of opposition parties is set to relaunch the Irish Neutrality League with a view to mass protests against changes to the triple lock neutrality system.

It is understood that the opposition parties of the left in the Dáil held a meeting in the past week to discuss plans to relaunch the organisation in the face of government plans to restructure the Irish neutrality framework.
