Ireland wants a fighter squadron?

[WRW]

Garry Owen is now unacceptable due to association with subjugation of peoples.  Why then is 7th Cavalry not up for disbandment

Ireland will certainly not be interested in some Britons opinion to spend that kind of money for limited capability.

Like MM said, it won't happen.

There is ZERO appetite here to fund an ultra-expensive boutique half squadron that would end up being grounded due to the inevitable operational funding shortages.

The economic bubble that burst in 2008, and subsequent bailout will be paid for for years still.

 

Ireland is NEUTRAL.

It's the neutral countries which need to arm themselves. Allied countries can rely someone else to do the job....

Surprised they didn't buy some of the Aussie F-18's 

If Canada goes for the Gripen, maybe they can tag into the buy?
