Ireland has always stood proudly neutral. That neutrality is protected by the Triple Lock – a safeguard that stops our Defence Forces being deployed into foreign wars without strict checks and balances.

But if the Triple Lock is weakened or abolished, the door swings open to something far darker: Irish troops sent into wars that aren’t ours, serving the interests of others – even powers hostile to our values and human rights.

And let’s be clear: once neutrality is undermined, the next step is frighteningly obvious. Conscription. If our soldiers aren’t enough, they will look to ordinary Irish citizens to fill the gap.

I've just signed the Peacekeepers' Open Letter for Neutrality. Can you do the same?
