Roscommon County Council - Defend the Triple Lock, Save Irelands Neutrality

The Triple Lock is core to Ireland's Neutrality. It prevents us being dragged into foreign wars by our government or, more accurately, by pressure on the government from the US, the UK and the EU.

We believe that there should be no changes to the Triple Lock and Ireland's Neutral status without a referendum where all the people of Ireland can decide. Our government does not want a referendum and is currently in the process of dismantling the Triple Lock without a mandate to do so.

Irelands neutrality keeps us safe and is what has kept us out of foreign conflicts. With world politics being so volatile currently, and world peace being so fragile, now more than ever it is vital that  Ireland is a voice for peace and justice and that our soldiers continue to be respected in their vitally important work as peacekeeping forces.
