Came across this UN report. It details the arms trade between countries. What they bought, sold and have in national stocks. Its from 2005 but still has some interesting stuff in it.
This UN site contains data going back to 1992 for all nations
The first Irish entry relates to calender year 1994 - the amount of detail etc increases over the period

"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."
