15. Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence if he is considering any changes to the triple-lock mechanism, which currently requires UN Security Council approval alongside Government and Dáil approval, for the deployment of Irish Defence Forces overseas; whether any proposed changes are solely intended to ensure that future peacekeeping missions are not unduly hindered by geopolitical deadlock at the UN; whether potential reforms to the triple lock are being considered to enhance operational flexibility while maintaining Ireland’s neutrality and adherence to international law; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
