“Removing the triple lock means Ireland is no longer neutral”
In this Tortoise Shack episode, Tony and Senator Tom Clonan delve into Ireland’s military neutrality, ongoing government moves to abolish the triple lock, and the implications for Ireland’s foreign policy and defense. They explore the systemic issues and risks associated with ending Ireland’s historic peacekeeping role, in contrast with a potential future of a non-neutral role of peace enforcement.
We also discuss Tom’s statement in the Seanad regarding St John’s Ambulance and his views on the cost of disability payments outlined in Budget 2027.
