I’d recommend Lt Col Dan Harvey (Ret’d) book Soldiering Against Subversion for anyone who thinks that a Sinn Fein government might address any Defence Forces issues. TL/DR - won’t happen.
In the meantime, we have this to worry about. Unfortunately it puts interceptors, new transport aircraft or even the future replacement of the heli fleet under pressure if the attempts to keep people fail.
