Sinn Féin is holding a public meeting in Letterkenny on the proposed changes to the Triple Lock.
The neutrality public meeting will be held at the Radisson Blu Hotel on Thursday, November 19, at 7:30 pm.
Pearse Doherty TD and Pádraig Mac Lochlainn TD will be hosting the meeting.
The meeting is an opportunity to hear about the proposed changes to the Triple Lock and discuss what they mean for Ireland's future. Everyone is welcome to attend.
A spokesperson for Donegal Sinn Féin said: “Sinn Féin believes that a decision of this importance must be put to the people in a referendum. The Irish people must have their say.”
The Defence (Amendment) Bill 2026, which passed the Dáil, seeks to remove the requirement of a UN Security Council veto on Irish peacekeeping missions.
The triple lock, codified by the bill, is a system that requires Government, Dáil and United Nations approval for overseas deployment of more than 12 troops.
The Defence (Amendment) Bill 2026 Second Stage was passed on Wednesday, October 21, which removes the UN Security Council veto.
