On quick glance though, PDF numbers have remained mostly steady since after The Emergency. The current figures are not even the lowest strength reached. The FCA/RDF numbers impact the overall view greatly, coming from a post-Emergency level of 30,000 or so, to the current dismal sub 2000 level.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!"

PDF establishment goes down to 12500 post emergency, I can't seem to find a definitive figure for the emergency establishment but for some reason the figure 40,000 is stuck in my head. So the PDF was massively under its establishment through the whole of the 1950s into the start of our UN contributions and the Congo in the 60s.
RDF establishment goes from 60,000 post emergency to 22,000 in 1951 I believe and stays there until the late 60s too.
So establishment doesn't change at all really for nearly 20 years, I'd imagine the will to maintain it did though.

2021 figures are in there, even though it won't show on the date bar. , the grey dots are the Sitting Dáil at the time. currently 33, etc. Some Dáil have been better for the DF than others. The blue vertical lines (which I forgot to tag) show UNOC and UNIFIL commencement.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
