Looks like the Russians are at it again.
It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
It was a new age...It was the end of history.
It was the year everything changed.

It does make one wonder what has been transiting the west coast under the water that can’t be seen - have they been following something?'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

In the absence of even a plan for our own assets, should we let NATO or a neutral EU air force protect the western approach?
France is fighting a war in Saharan Africa, while also deploying in eastern Europe. Norway, Sweden and Denmark have their hands full in the Baltic and north Atlantic, and Germany's military has collapsed.
You could ask the EU for a collective response, and frame it as a problem effecting all of Europe's economy and security, and say that it's not a problem with Irish doctrine/budget/politics, it's simply about geography (this has an element of truth about it, and is a very similar argument to that which Italy and Greece made during the migration crisis) - Europe may agree to something along similar lines to the Icelandic, Baltic and Black Sea air policing operations, but it won't be free for Ireland, they would require (and actually need) a significant financial contribution - or a return of favours: an Irish Bn Gp to Mali....
