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.”
