A former Sligo MEP is warning that the Government's plan to scrap the Triple Lock Neutrality Protection is a dangerous attack on Irish neutrality.

Chris MacManus made the comments after a recent Cabinet meeting approved the Defence (Amendment) Bill

The Sligo Sinn Fein Chair says Ireland is a neutral, military non-aligned state, a status which puts Ireland in a strong position to advocate for peace and uphold international law.

The former Sligo Councillor says moves by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to dismantle the Triple Lock is dangerous and short sighted.

He says a referendum should be called to decide whether it should be removed
