Erin McGreehan - Protect the Triple Lock
Petition to TD Erin McGreehan: Save Our Neutrality, Protect the Triple Lock
Why is this important?
The Triple Lock was introduced to protect Irish neutrality and to ensure that Irish troops could only be deployed overseas with Government approval, Dáil approval and a UN mandate. It provides an important safeguard that overseas military deployments are based on international law and broad international agreement.
Fianna Fáil made commitments to the Irish people during Nice and Lisbon Treaties that the Triple Lock would provide a cast- iron legal status for neutrality. Michaél called the triple lock the cornerstone of our neutrality. Now, under external pressure from the EU and NATO, the FFG government wants to scrap it.
Polls consistently show strong support for Irish neutrality and for retaining the Triple Lock. At a time when people are extremely concerned about housing, the cost of living and healthcare, why is the government pushing through this dramatic change instead of fixing the issues they were elected to fix.
