The Claire Byrne Show · Should the Triple Lock be scrapped? · 9 Jun 2026 podcast

That's true, but the world has changed radically since then.

We've had no new peacekeeping missions mandated since 2014.

And really, the whole geopolitical scenario has altered the whole decision-making process.

I think it's right to remove the triple lock.

I think people have to trust our government.

They have to trust the members of Dáil Éireann.

And the legislation, when it is enacted over the coming weeks, will also ensure that any future peacekeeping missions, that it does adhere to the principles and the ideals within the United Nations Charter and indeed within international law.

So I think we have to be mature about it.

We have to be able to trust ourselves.

Unfortunately, the five Parliament members, as we know, just cannot be relied upon.

They even vetoed

a resolution recently calling for a full and final ceasefire within Gaza.

So, you know, this is how serious it is.

Yeah, I don't think that's really a workable avenue.

Now, I do agree with Sinead that the United Nations has to be reformed.

But look, you know, it's not one or the other.

I think we can quite simply manage our own affairs.

We have to trust our own judgment.

We have to trust ourselves in terms of our military capability, our military capacity.

We have to listen to the leaders in our defence forces.
