The Irish Neutrality League

1. My relationship to the people I'm raising funds for:
I Mark Price will receive the transfers directly, and I was co-founder of the Irish Neutrality League in 2022. I am also co-chair of the Irish Anti-War Movement. As co-chair of the Irish Anti-War Movement I co-founded the Irish Neutrality League in 2022 in order to help provide a channel for the overwhelming public support for neutrality as shown in successive polls, and to push back against the drive by elected officials to end neutrality by abolishing the Triple Lock. Our organisation includes other elected officials aswell as civil society activists. We are raising money for The Irish Neutrality League, an unregistered civil society organisation and coalition of politicians which is campaigning on behalf of the issue of Irish neutrality (https://neutrality.ie). I have initially set up the fundraiser to deposit donations into my personal account, while I have applied to open a separate bank account (the reason is that we are having a public meeting on 29 January and need to start fundraising as soon as possible, and the new bank account won't be up and running for a week at least).

Most urgently, the Irish Government is planning soon to abolish the Triple Lock, the pledge made in 2002 and 2009 to get the Irish people to agree to the Nice and Lisbon treaties, which prevents the sending of Irish defence forces abroad without a UN mandate. The Government wants Irish defence forces to fight for European military alliances, such as the 'coalition of the willing' being assembled at the moment. The Irish people overwhelmingly reject taking sides in these wars, and only want their military to help with UN Peacekeeping missions. We must urgently oppose and mobilise against these plans to completely destroy Irish neutrality, and we plan a public meeting in Dublin on 29 January 2026, to lead to a demonstration in late February or March.

2. My plan for how I'll deliver the funds to the organisation I'm raising money for, and how I'll use the funds on their behalf:
The donations will be spent on room hire for public meetings, leaflets and posters to advertise the meetings, and banners for demonstrations. The money will be spent in Irish cities, including Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. If we can raise enough we would also like to invite speakers from abroad (at the moment these appear at our meetings on Zoom), and the money in that case would also be spent on plane tickets and hotel accommodation.

3. Beneficiary?
I have not added a beneficiary to receive bank transfers.
