Does anyone know the amount of Air-Policing that goes on in Ireland, compared to the GB? Having so much traffic, in 'normal' times, coming off the Atlantic, is there not a case for a limited peacetime capability? If you took the proportion of Air-Policing that the UK Air Defence force carries out in a year (not sure if non-transponding Russian aircraft are included), and scaled it for the amount of traffic in Ireland's airspace, could a small capability be justified? What kind of future incident would generate the need?
