Ireland must remain a neutral and independent voice for peace. Our neutrality and the Triple Lock safeguard our democracy, sovereignty, and peacekeeping — not war-making.
We, the undersigned, call on Tipperary County Council to:
• Publicly affirm its support for Ireland’s policy of military neutrality;
• Call on the Irish Government to protect the Triple Lock mechanism;
• Support a policy of peace, diplomacy, and international co-operation.
Ensure any deployment of Irish troops abroad remains subject to the will of the people and the Oireachtas.
The “Triple Lock” that requires a UN mandate for deployment of Irish troops is the only legal
mechanism that protects it.
This government wants to scrap the Triple Lock so Ireland can participate more fully in EU-led and NATO-led military missions without a UN mandate.
