> According to the poll results, 45 per cent of those polled said they supported calls for Ireland to increase its defence spending with 27 per cent of people saying they opposed such a move. Just over one fifth (23 per cent) of voters said they were neutral on the topic with 5 per cent saying they did not know.
Hopefully this helps show some of the loud left that their position of opposing defence spending is a minority one.

Being an island will help our defence spending choices
Much moreso than if we shared an unfriendly land border

The funny thing is Micheál Martin is leading this call for change… and also Micheál Martin was the one that caused issues that plagued personnel retention in the defense forces during his last term in office. So now it will cost the tax payers more to bring it up to the levels needed. Clowns.

This is a misleading headline.
More voters in a red c poll but what % of the population did that red c poll. I know recently every time I try to do one I can’t because it’s closed even though my email just got it, or they’ve reached the quota for my demographic.
So no I don’t believe this is a true reflection of the overall population feel.
