Too many questions to answer in a single tweet, so I'll thread my reply.
Firstly, I will ask what is your interpretation of #neutrality?
I have to ask because Irish neutrality is subjective
It is not a written policy, nor is it recognised officially by any other nation or body

Actually, the latter point isn't strictly accurate, as @NATO acknowledges Ireland's "military neutrality" (note: they spelt out what it means to them).
Beyond that, there's no legally binding defined statement of Irish neutrality.
It does not exist.

"Military Neutrality" is meaningless, the term is a self-licking lollipop.
Unless the country is run by a Junta, the military doesn't have a say in where it gets deployed. As an instrument of political will, it is completely indifferent.
Politically, Ireland is far from neutral
