Ireland must be strong on neutrality and strong on defence - Mary Lou McDonald TD - Friends of Sinn Féin “Neutrality is a strength. It allows Ireland to stand for peace, for diplomacy and for international law in an increasingly dangerous world.” She also highlighted the need for urgent investment in the Defence Forces, criticising successive Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael administrations for long-term neglect. “Our Defence Forces have been run down over many years. Sinn Féin is calling for any move to dismantle the Triple Lock to be put to the people in a referendum. This is not a decision for Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael alone. It belongs to the Irish people. Let the people decide.”

“Neutrality is a strength. It allows Ireland to stand for peace, for diplomacy and for international law in an increasingly dangerous world.” Mary Lou McDonald

Our goal remains: a united, sovereign Ireland that cherishes all its people equally.

There would have been no Easter Rising without Irish America.

There would have been no Good Friday Agreement without the US.

There will be no United Ireland without Irish America.

At Easter, we honour those who went before us. We draw strength from their courage and their vision. We carry forward their mission - as a living struggle.
