The Irish Defence Forces is mainly tailored for internal security against paramilitary organisations like IRA groups or loyalist groups like the UVF. Thats what its for.
Ireland is not concerned about the threats facing NATO countries. And there is no credible threat of invasion from anywhere.
There is no credible threat because Ireland is an island on the west coast of Europe and there are no hostile countries in range that have the logistical capability to mount an amphibious assault at this distance.
Defence against what? Britians enemies?
Defend your own western flank. Its your problem, not ours.

I see NATO assests being deployed to protect NATO leaders against threats from NATO enemies.
So whats your point? The UK is doing this in its own interest, not in Ireland’s interest.
Because Ireland can’t defend itself.
From who?
Anyone
