This is a good explanation of the triple lock. I think it should go as it’s ridiculous to have our sovereign decisions second guessed by China, Russia, USA. It is bizarre to believe that any Irish government would lightly send Irish troops on overseas missions. All governments are averse to risking the lives of their military.

The Triple Lock must end now. Ireland is a sovereign democracy and must not let Russia or China influence our security decisions. Our elected government must act independently. Removing the Triple Lock will not compromise neutrality; it will protect Ireland’s freedom to act
I’ve long admired America and President Zelensky’s leadership, but Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine is appalling. While Americans face genuine cost-of-living struggles, as people worldwide do, it’s time to stop enabling the dictator of Russia & stand firmly with Ukraine & democracy
BREAKING: President Zelensky tells Piers Morgan he feels 'betrayed' over Trump announcing an energy ceasefire and diesel deal with Putin.
'This is not the right side of history.'

Such an impressive and attractive re-casting of Ireland’s national passport! Congratulations to the Irish Passport Office @dfatirl and to all others who contributed.
Minister @HMcEntee will today launch Ireland’s newly designed Irish passport.
Rooted in Ireland’s landscapes, heritage and culture, the new design reflects the story of our island while incorporating next-generation security features to protect Irish citizens around the world.

🟢 IFI advises that Galway + Erriff fisheries have both re-opened.
🐟 Excessively warm water temperatures last week led the fisheries to be closed temporarily to all angling – incl catch & release – to protect fish from potentially lethal heat stress.

Every year, tonnes are smuggled out of the EU by criminal networks, despite its critically endangered status.

Tonight, we adorn our European institutions with the colours of Ukraine.
Two colours, carrying the spirit of courage.
Two colours, burning with resistance.
Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, these colours are shining brighter than ever
Slava Ukraini.
