Irish neutrality to be the focus of upcoming public forum in Limerick
NEUTRALITY is the focus of an upcoming public forum, taking place on Saturday, June 17 in Limerick city.
Political unrest worldwide has sparked the Irish neutrality conversation once again, and whether our government could be doing more to encourage a more neutral approach for others to adopt, globally.
The venue for the Limerick forum is Conradh na Gaeilge, on Thomas Street at 3pm. The upcoming event is part of a series of neutrality forums, being held across the country.
The series of public discussions is hosted by groups such as the Irish Neutrality League, Peace and Neutrality Alliance (PANA), the Irish Anti-War Movement, Shannonwatch and others.
Speaking of the aims of the groups organising the forums and hosting a series of nationwide events, Edward Horgan, International Secretary of the Peace and Neutrality Alliance, said: “Irish positive active neutrality is essential towards achieving global peace and justice, and towards avoiding the extinction of humanity.
“There is a strong case to be made for extending the concepts of active neutrality internationally, but right now the opposite is happening, with neutrality under attack in Ireland and across Europe.”
Sinn Féin Senator, Paul Gavan summed up the aim of next week’s meeting, saying: “We want Ireland to use our history to ensure that this planet has a better future.”
