Aontú TD in Mayo, Paul Lawless will next week host a public meeting on retaining the triple lock.
The Triple Lock ensures that any deployment of Irish troops overseas must be approved by the Government, the Dáil, and a United Nations mandate.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday, 15th April at 7.30pm in the TF Royal Hotel, Castlebar, and all are welcome .
The deputy believes that the triple lock has been a vital safeguard of Ireland’s sovereignty and peacekeeping tradition.
However, he says, recent government efforts to dismantle this mechanism have raised fears that Ireland could be pushed closer to military alliances and conflicts that do not serve the national interest.
Deputy Lawless is urging the public to stand up for neutrality before it is quietly eroded, saying the public meeting will provide an opportunity for discussion, questions, and action.
