Consideration of Ireland’s foreign policy stance should not be ‘binary issue’

Consideration of Ireland’s international security policy should not by a binary choice on whether it joins a military alliance, the country’s deputy premier has said.

Micheal Martin’s comments came after US President Joe Biden referenced Ireland’s long-standing policy of neutrality in a speech to the parliament in Dublin.

The Irish Government has established a forum to examine issues related to Ireland’s independent foreign policy position.
