Supporters of military neutrality want the existing three-step approval process to remain unchanged.
The 'Triple Lock' will be up for debate again after the Dail returns in the autumn.
Pro-neutrality campaigners want the current three-step approval system to remain in place and say removing it would weaken Ireland's military neutrality.
Opposition TDs are planning to oppose the Government-proposed legislation, which is expected to be enacted by the end of this year.
