Claire McNabIrish politicians represent Ireland in the #EU. But #FineGael's eurobrains tell #Ireland to shut up. 😡
Dr #EoinDrea's #IrishTimes op-ed tells Ireland to #STFU about #genocide in #Gaza, #EUmilitarization, & #IrishNeutrality. Drea calis Irish policy a "hot mess of uncoordinated gibberish".
Drea says Ireland's 2026 #EUpresidency should "focus on process, not content". In other words: No policy goals for Paddy!
#FG wants Ireland to be a servant of France & Germany. #iepol
75% of #Irishpeople support #Irishneutrality.
#CatherineConnolly's clear support for undiluted #neutrality was a big factor in her landslide victory in the #Aras25 presidential election.
Ireland's centrist media runs a propaganda barrage against neutrality. This is a rare case of 3 Irish academics being allowed in The #IrishTimes to make a pro-neutrality case: Patrick Bresnihan, Niamh Ní Bhriain, and Rory Rowan. #TheIrishTimes #iepol

Joe NoonanThis is why we benefit from having the need for UN Security Council or General Assembly consent for sending DF members out into an international military force.
Remove that, and we lose a key defence against that sort of phenomenon at EU level.

Get this: at the same time as breaking faith with us, they ask us to trust them as they dismantle the 1960 statutory commitment to working through the UN when it comes to sending Irish soldiers overseas with international forces.
That’s a bridge I’m not buying.

Good reminder there, thanks. On the changes CB refers to, still of current relevance - www.iiea.com/images/uploa... #EU #TripleLock #IrishNeutrality
“She is a person of principle. When she speaks you know that it is honest and from the heart. I think that she would make a fantastic president.”

Fine Gael's group EPP: "If Europe wants to be a serious geopolitical player, it must establish a unified military headquarters designed not only to manage crises but also to fight and win in high-intensity conflicts."

Example: Of the 80-plus speakers selected by the Dept to address the 2023 Consultative Forum only one publicly advocated maintaining neutrality.

“On the global stage, the country maintains a military neutrality (which prevents it from being an official member of Nato, one of only four European countries without membership), and a preference for using diplomacy to solve conflict.”
