‘Absurd that Russia would effectively have veto’ on Irish peacekeeping deployments, Taoiseach says

has reiterated the Government’s intention to abandon the “triple lock” under which Irish troops can only be committed abroad if there is a decision of the Government, a vote in the Dáil and a UN resolution.

He said that Tánaiste Micheál Martin intended to bring forward legislation to change the triple lock, adding, “I hope that’s something that can be done in the lifetime of this Government.”Is Ireland a sleepy back door providing China with access to global DNA banks? Mr Martin announced plans to scrap the triple lock in November. The Government also held a consultative forum on international security policy last year.
