Did ye read the article fellas?It clearly states we ARE in it!!
Obviously I'm out of date - I know that the invitation and most general of discussions took place about a year ago, but that all went quiet and there had been no reply as of about 3 months ago.
It pleases me more than you know to find out that Ireland is participating...
It's a USMC formation - broadly analogous with 148 By RA (but obviously not as good, in fact some of their people have problems with shoelaces and are a 'kin menace to all around them...) - they provide fire support teams to allied formations and do all the forward air control, naval gunfire support and Artillery observation.
