Fianna Fáil got 21.9% of the vote in the general election. 78.1% of voters did not support your manifesto with a 1st preference vote. An Irish Times poll showed 44% in favour of keeping the Triple Lock. 34% for removing it. You have no mandate to do this. None. The country is against you.

The worst leader of his party in its history, overseeing an historic betrayal of its foundational values and its defining international achievements, along with the majority preference of the people of Ireland. Russia does NOT have a "veto" on Irish participation in peacekeeping. Neither does any other country. This is a vicious misrepresentation of how the United Nations works. It is disinformation. Without a UN mandate, Ireland MUST NEVER participate in any EU mission in Lebanon. Because if there is no UN mandate, there is no peacekeeping. It's not peacekeeping. If our soldiers end up there under an EU command, without the protection of a clear UN peacekeeping mandate, they will end up suborned into being wingmen for Israel's apocalyptic criminality - its scorched-earth landgrab and occupation in South Lebanon. Pressed into complicity by the Zionist governments in Europe who define the mission, and abandoned to it by a political class in Ireland - personified in the Taoiseach - who will never say no to "our European partners." That is what is really at stake with the government's plans to abolish the Triple Lock. It isn't about preserving Ireland's participation in peacekeeping. It's about destroying that legacy forever, and blowing up our relationship with the majority of the world in the process.
