Galway Patrick's Day message- For Neutrality's Sake,Keep the Triple Lock.
2026-03-17 11:00 - 12:30 | Liam Mellows statue, Eyre Square, Galway City, Ireland
Galway Patrick’s Day message.
Join us as we assemble together to watch the Patrick’s Day parade in Galway city.
We will be holding peace flags and placards for neutrality and peace, to keep Irish troops as peacekeepers, and to keep the Triple Lock.
Anyone who agrees with the message is welcome to come and stand with us, or stand anywhere along the parade route with a peace flag or placard of similar sentiment. To assemble with us please meet up at 11am at the Liam Mellows statue, which is near the end of the parade route and opposite the ‘dignitaries stand’. (Early to get a good position).
Unfortunately, we all need to make our own placards (cardboard ones will do) so bring yours along. To convey a unified message please try to incorporate ‘keep the triple lock’ on them- as that is the fight Michael Martin/Simon Harris/Helen McEntee are waging against us now. Political rather than party political signs are more unifying too. This is a civil society campaign.
Wear you Irish Black Shamrock peace badges if you have one. If the weather is good enough we hope to sell the Black Shamrock badges at the parade (proceeds to Medical Aid for Palestinians).
Keep Ireland Neutral- Keep the Triple Lock.
UN PEACE-KEEPERS not EU BATTLE-TROOPERS. Keep the Triple Lock.
Neutrality + Triple Lock = Irish peace & security.

“I do want to draw attention to the fact that we are probably complicit in wars at the moment waged by the United States on behalf of others and on behalf of themselves as well.” “Because really, it’s too much to have us, a neutral country, as a place where military planes land maybe now at the moment two or three times a day, refuel and go on to places which are hubs for the US as well abroad….I mean, since when has Ireland offered itself as a hub to any other nation engaging in warfare?”
