Look over there!
Some people in Ireland are the equivalent of a meerkat in Dublin zoo. Forget about it . There is no bird of prey sweeping out of the skies above Dublin to snatch you up. Irelands foreign policy has done little to engender the wrath of another state or its supporters . The 2 neighbours either side will follow their own agenda , there is nothing you could possibly do anyway . Relax. Read a book . Spend the money on intensive care beds which are btw among the lowest in number in Europe You literally could not burn money as quick as operating a fighter and the risks involved of a catastrophe involving your hapless citizens is enormous ..and I won’t go into your accident /incident rate per flight hour .unless of course you have an agenda to feather your own nest / add to your brown envelopes in some way ..
