A referendum on Irish Neutrality

MusicMario72

As the headlines comtinue to spill put in the media from current and past TDs this morning on breaking news

Never before has a single Irish Government invested so much timebin scaremongering the people of our Ireland. And its fir our best interests let's be honest, when had this coalition. Ever done anything for our good ?

No politician has the right to end our neutrality - it must go to the people of Ireland in a referendum to protect our neutrality and hold a referendum to take the power of war away from financially motivated politicians. A world full of pro war profiteers we the Emerald Isle are a peaceful race having ourselves seen enough war in our history.

The truth of our politicians urgency to kill our neutrality is not for safety its for top paid jobs in the UN & Nato for expired politicians who ran their course r@ping Ireland with their laws ignoring the population. If these leeches scrap our neutrality what comes next with their powers at the top of world organisations will destroy Ireland & the Irish Name for good.

We need to be as we have been the voice of reason at the table.

Would you vote to take the option of neutrality out of the hands people in Dáil Eireann who realistically do not represent the people on our Island ?

First of all we have already voted to scrap our neutrality and it is enshrined in the constitution. Beyond that neutrality as practiced by Ireland is government policy and nothing else. So maybe get of the soap box and go educate yourself on our actual position.

And not alone that, but we have acted on those commitments and are part of the Nordic Battlegroup. Nobody of any consequences considers us, Switzerland nor Sweden as truly neutral.

Since neutrality was never in the constitution then that would be a tad difficult.

Fwiw we are militarily non-aligned not neutral and the reality is we are firmly in the western camp politically and militarily.

You started thread in state of ignorance and it is not my job to educate you in the basic facts. Get out the constitution read it, get out the amendments we have voted on, read them, get out the international treaties we have signed up to and read them and then we can have a serious conversation.

Repeating a lot of nonsense you have been fed by the internet and then doubling down on it with more nonsense does not make your case, it just shows us how little thought you have put into this and how little effort you are will to put in in order to substantiate it.

You want people to take you serious and not confuse you with a troll or someone's useful fool then go to do your homework.

And we have seen what putting things into the constitution has done (8th amendment?)

No thanks. There shouldn't be anything added to the constitution imo. We're full time trying to change what's already there, or take stuff out.

Nope. Policy is fine

So troll or useful fool it does not matter because you don't know the facts so time for you to just stop embarrassing yourself.

Not possible an if you took the time to education yourself you'd know that. Now either educate yourself or at least try not to embarrass yourself further.

Seems to me that “Irish Neutrality” is just a handy name for a government policy of not spending a dime on the Defence Forces.

Look the OP has not bothered and is not interested in having a serious discussion, most likely just trolling so have a bit of fun with him, if he was he'd understand why it would never even get legs because of A29.
