No, it's not genuine guilt. They use fake guilt as a weapon to justify their impunity. Kitty O'Brien, Irish activist viciously attacked by German cops over a week ago explains this very well.

Law Professor Dr Donal Coffey has a great explainer here bsky.app/profile/dona... #TripleLock
The ‘Triple Lock’ is to be found in the Defence Acts and requires that an operation must be (a) mandated by the United Nations, (b) approved by the Government, and (c) approved by resolution of Dáil Éireann, if more than 12 members of the Defence Forces are sent overseas for peacekeeping operations.

My suggestions include making the provisions of Article 29.1-3 justiciable and provide a limited form of judicial review over such deployment decisions.
That would protect members of the Defence Forces, our political leaders and the people of Ireland from the risks inherent in this field.

There can at times be a tension between the powers of government and the power of the people as described in Bunreacht na hÉireann.
Especially in the area of international relations and that in turn links on to authorising deployment of Irish soldiers overseas.
