Although officially neutral, Ireland allowed itself to be used as a refuelling point for United States military before, during and after the Iraq war. Even today there is a large amount of American military traffic though Shannon Airport. All of this was done amid much public disquiet at the almost complete abandoning of neutrality without a vote (parlimentary or otherwise). It seems now that the Government has gone even further than people thought, by secretly signing treaties with the United States without telling the Dail!
