Irish air Defence

Of course it's not just Air Defence. I have always wondered why Ireland bothers to maintain an Army but not an Air Force. If it ever did 'hit the fan' a troop of Boy Scouts, with Air support, could roll them up in a weekend!

Mind you, their prime mission seems to be to be hired out to the UN and of course there is always the CIVIL aspect.
