This is good, our waters are their backyard too so they have an incentive to protect it.
The Normans are coming!
Interestingly:
> One goal will be to forge links with the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), a UK-led alliance focused on maritime security. The JEF is not a part of Nato, although all 10 current members are also Nato members.
>
> It is designed to respond rapidly to military crises on behalf of Nato or the UN. Ireland is not proposing becoming a full member of the JEF. Instead, it will be a part of “JEF+”, a new concept to allow allied nations to take part in individual exercises and operations as they see fit.

> Participation in JEF+ will offer Ireland opportunities to “learn from its experiences and best practices”, the strategy states.
Wikipedia says the Irish Navy has 4 operational ships. One might question whether the Irish waters ever were really Irish-controlled.
It’s wayyy to big for Ireland to patrol anyway.
Well, is it really letting them if they couldn’t do anything to stop them?
I thought the Royal Navy does anyway
Can we stop with this charade of neutrality. It’s just embarrassing at this point.
Smart Ireland……….
Ffs they need to grow a pair and defend it themselves
It’s odd – there was a recent report of (relatively!) large investment in armoured vehicles and self-propelled artillery.
Which, while interesting, doesn’t seem to fill our most immediate needs. I’m surprised we didn’t focus on maritime patrol – sea and air. New patrol vessels (or at least, staffing those we have and keeping them in action), and aircraft to protect against airborne intrusions.
We are the ~~British Army~~ Royal Navy and we’re here to ~~take your land~~ protect your sea
I think „controlled“ means something else
