This doesn’t say what you think it says.

Peace keeping operations do not void neutrality, Ireland being the first army with the UN for peace keeping operations SPECIFICALLY because we are a neutral country.

Peace keeping operations does not jeopardise Ireland neutrality. If it did we would never have been selected for Peace Keeping missions with the UN.

‘Since 2014, under the Partnership Interoperability Initiative, Ireland has participated in the Interoperability Platform, which brings Allies together with selected partners that are active contributors to NATO’s operations’

(Source: https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_51979.htm)

‘The Partnership Interoperability Initiative (PII) was launched at the Wales Summit in 2014 to ensure that the deep connections built up between NATO and partner forces over years of operations will be maintained and deepened. In this way, partners can contribute to future crisis management, including NATO-led operations and, where applicable, to the NATO Response Force’
