Kildare host talk on neutrality
“If the Triple Lock is dismantled, Irish troops may be deployed."
A public meeting entitled ‘The Neutrality Roadshow’ will take place at Kilcullen Town Hall and Heritage Centre next week ( 29 Thursday) at 7.30 pm, Maynooth academic Niamh Aine Ni Bhriain and Fionn Wallace – son of MEP Mick, and assistant to Clare Daly - will be the main speakers.
The event will be chaired by a local member of The Kildare Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
“The Neutrality Roadshow will begin a one-month tour of Ireland to host conversations with local communities warning of the dangers to Irish neutrality, and the importance of preserving it in the face of global instability and war,” said a spokesperson.
“The Roadshow is a grassroots people-led initiative that is not affiliated with any political party.
“In March, the government brought legislation to Cabinet to dismantle the Triple Lock, a mechanism that regulates the deployment of Irish Defence Forces overseas.
“If the Triple Lock is dismantled, Irish troops may be deployed."
