Well it doesn't seem like there is a reason to have a bunch of fighters since Ireland isn't really fighting too many wars.....
Well that's not really the point.
1. When you need the military it's too late to start buying equipment.
2. The issue is that our Min for Defence stood up in the Dail and stated that in the event of a 9/11 type threat to our security we would ask the RAF to do us a favour. The more I think about it the more head-melting it becomes. Sort of like the Sec of Defence over there asking the Cuban Air Force to defend where you live.
