To be fair, no one knows what the nature of the govt to govt agreement is because, while we know it exists, the details haven’t been made public.
Keeping to the neighbourly analogy above it could as much a case of ‘ you can drive your car across my lawn if you’re responding to an emergency, so long as you respond to my emergency too’ as much as anything else.
My own opinion is that we should have at least a basic capability developed that is entirely under sovereign, Irish, control. That way, any further cooperation can be on a more even and transparent level.
