  • Irish Troop Deployment

    If Billy Timmins really believes that the UN has a veto on Irish troop deployments he is a fool though I suspect he is just misrepresenting the facts.

    Jack Wall, Finian McGrath and John Gormley should concentrate on their knitting and leave the men get on with the real world.

    Well I suppose there's some basis in fact there when you consider how the UN security council works, though I doubt any of the major five leaders wake up in the morning and sweat it out about having to keep the Irish Army in a straight jacket.

      I'm confused. Wouldn't the triple lock prevent Irish troops from being deployed under EUfor?

        Only if the mission was not sanctioned by the UN(so yes,basically)

          It did prevent them being deployed to Macedonia.

            Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
            Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
            The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
            The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
            The best lack all conviction, while the worst
            Are full of passionate intensity.

                I assume that's what they're talking about.
