Defend Irish Neutrality

We, the undersigned of the Irish nation, hereby petition the Government to hold an ‘ordinary’ national referendum, in accordance with the democratic principles enshrined in the Constitution, to amend the rules governing the neutrality of the State.

We propose that the following constitutional provisions be placed before the Irish people for approval in a referendum:

1. Declare Ireland Permanently Neutral:
   Ireland shall not engage in foreign wars or military alliances unless directly attacked or authorised by public referendum.
2. Enshrine the Triple Lock:
   No overseas deployment of Irish forces except with:
   (a) Government approval,
   (b) Dáil Éireann approval, and
   (c) a UN Security Council mandate.
3. Require Referenda for Military Alignments:
   Ireland shall not join NATO, PESCO, or any military alignments without approval via a national referendum.
4. Ban Military Support:
   No troops, weapons, military aid or funding of such—lethal or non-lethal—shall be sent abroad without public approval.

This petition is grounded in Article 6 of Bunreacht na hÉireann, which declares:

“All powers of government… derive… from the people… whose right it is, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy.”
