Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 February 2026
2. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if she will hold a referendum on neutrality in light of opinion polling showing strong support for Irish neutrality; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [12202/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraIreland’s policy of military neutrality means that Ireland does not participate in military alliances or common or mutual defence arrangements.
As the Government has stated on numerous occasions, there are no plans to alter this policy. As such, a referendum on Ireland’s neutrality is not necessary or appropriate.
