A proposal to deploy Irish soldiers on an EU military mission in Lebanon has ignited a debate in Ireland over the country's neutrality and the 'triple lock' mechanism for troop deployment.

This policy is currently under scrutiny amid discussions about potential participation in EU military missions and broader international security roles.
