Plans going to the Dáil would see Ireland agree to the Outer Space Treaty.
The Midlands Astronomy Club is concerned valuable metals found in space could break a peace treaty.
The Outer Space Treaty pledges peace in the cosmos, and prevents any claims of celestial territory.
Plans being brought to the Dáil would see Ireland become a signatory of the agreement, of which 111 countries have already signed since its drafting in 1967.
Member of the Midlands Astronomy Club, Seanie Morris, explains why the treaty exists:
