Irish coalition moves to scrap UN veto on peacekeeping deployments

The Irish government is advancing legislation to remove the UN Security Council mandate requirement for deploying Irish peacekeeping troops, a change opposed by opposition parties as a betrayal of Fianna Fáil's founding principles. The Triple Lock mechanism currently requires UN approval, and its dismantling marks a significant shift in Irish defense policy. The outcome of the Dáil vote remains uncertain, and the move could alter Ireland's traditional neutrality stance.
