Ireland’s Defence Forces: Does neutrality mean having no military capability?

In part-two of a three-part series, People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy makes the case for neutrality and against an enhanced military capacity. Ireland has no capability to control or even police the state’s skies and has an extremely limited maritime capability. The cost-of-living crisis has seen hundreds of service personnel leaving and not being replaced. Some argue that the Defence Forces need investment, modern equipment, and more members. However, some others that more call for more military spending is warmongering and will lead to NATO membership.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Hosted on Acast.
