Neutrality Now

Check out our updated Neutrality Roadshow schedule!

UN mandates for troop deployment have been the backbone of Irish foreign policy since the 1960s. Now the government wants to abandon this and sell it as normal. It’s not — it’s a foreign policy revolution. #savethetriplelock #saveirishneutrality

The government and media are dismissive, arrogant and patronising towards anyone who challenges their plans to remove the Triple Lock. Why? They know it's a deeply unpopular move and are desperately trying to avoid public scrutiny. #savethetriplelock #saveirishneutrality

Happening in Mayo this evening!!!

Full house in Galway on Friday evening for our fifth stop on the Neutrality Roadshow. We were delighted to be joined by life-long peace activist, former TD and MEP @ClareDalyIRL Many thanks to Galway Alliance Against War and Mechanics Institute for hosting us.

The Neutrality Roadshow moves on to Co Mayo tomorrow in the Mary Robinson Centre. Come along at 6pm to hear the brilliant @DondeNiamh & @DevineDrKaren explain why the Triple Lock is central to Irish neutrality and why our neutrality is more important than ever. @Neutrality_Now

BREAKING ACTION AT SHANNON AIRPORT 3 Women have gone airside to inspect a US warplane at Shannon Airport. ‘Operation Siren’ have sprayed the warplane with red paint & held an Irish flag reading ‘US MILITARY OUT OF NEUTRAL IRELAND’ Ní saoirse go saoirse na bPalaistíne!

Roadshow Stop tonight in Galway!!

Shannon Airport is swarming with US soldiers this morning turning a civilian airport into a de facto US - NATO military base. This makes the Irish state complicit in genocide. It also makes a mockery of Irish neutrality, something consistently supported by the Irish people.

Fourth Stop: -Shannon Estuary proposed site for an LNG terminal - Ballylongford It beggars belief that the government would seek to build an LNG terminal in the midst of a climate emergency. These ventures further align IRL with US imperialism and jeopardise our neutrality.

Our third stop on the Neutrality Roadshow was in Shannon, where there were two US military planes at the airport. We called on the Gardai to search them, but they responded that no searches would be carried out. This failure makes Ireland complicit in genocide and war crimes.

Thanks a million to the people of south Kerry for hosting us last night. We kicked off the roadshow with a vibrant discussion on the urgency of keeping Ireland Neutral and keeping the Triple Lock.

The Neutrality Roadshow begins today!! First stop, Kenmare! Join us for a conversation on how to keep Ireland neutral and keep the Triple Lock. 🔒🔒🔒

Dates and Locations confirmed so far for the Neutrality Roadshow. Stay tuned for more updates!

Solidarity with the May Day 3 who took action when our Government has failed to. Allowing US military planes through Shannon undermines Irish neutrality and is a breach of our international legal and moral obligation to prevent genocide. palestineaction.org/palestine-acti…

Huge respect for the May Day 3 taking action against US military use of Shannon Airport as the US arms a genocide and bombs Yemen. More of this!!

And against opponents with barely a fraction of that spending power - they're still not winning. h/t @Neutrality_Now

The Taoiseach uses the 1916 Commemoration event to take another dig at the Triple Lock which is central to Irish neutrality. President Higgins speaking at the Pope's funeral calls out the indifference of world leaders to Gaza. They speak for two different Irelands.

The Government's arguments to remove the Triple Lock are flawed and aim to confuse and mislead the public. This briefing debunks them arguing that the Triple Lock must be retained as a core part of Irish neutrality. Available at @ConnollyBooks or online: tni.org/en/publication…

The @AfriPeace annual Famine Walk began in 1988 to connect Ireland's history of colonial famine, An Gorta Mór, with contemporary global injustices. It has never been more important to remember that we side with the colonised and oppressed, not the forces of empire.
