It is one of the group of smaller nations in the EU and has traditionally followed a non-aligned foreign policy.

According to the Irish Defence Forces,the neutrality policy has helped them to be successful in their contributions to United Nations peace-keeping missions since 1960 and subsequently in Cyprus,Lebanon and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
