The security council has always been gridlocked. Interesting that you can write of the naivity of the triple gridlock of the Irish rules but fail to state that it is United States, China and Russia (since the era of the Soviet Union) that is the nature of the UN Security Council. The US is just as preposterous in their refusal to make agreement.

Apologies for failing to add an explainer to the triple lock in which all members of UN security Council have veto on Irish troop deployment. Terrible oversight on my behalf.
