The deal would make perfect sense from a practical and pragmatic defence point of view, and I would assume the fact that they’re taking the case in the first place indicates it does exist.

Imagine wasting time trying fight this, every man and his dog knows about the agreement at this stage

Assuming for a minutes there isn’t a secret deal (but there definitely is) how and by who are they saying out airspace is currently protected?
As far as I am aware our airforce dont have the capacity or resources!

Whereas the details of any deal aren’t public, is there any doubt that some agreement is in place.
If there’s an airspace incursion or an airliner is uncontactable, the call is going straight to the RAF, not the Air Corps, due to our own guys not having the capabilities to intercept themselves.
It’s purely practically in the short term.

I know a retired air traffic controller who told me it is true. They have to have eyes on the jets in Irish airspace to ensure there are no collisions with commercial and private planes in our airspace.

Honestly the way we go on.
“the brits oppressed us for 800 years” which they did.
“the brits are occupying our islands” which they are.
And who are we depending on for an important element of security.. The same brits.
And I know the usual thing of who is going to attack us, hopefully no one ever will. But look at UK polling at the moment, do we really really want to leave any element of our security to a potential UK government involving Nigel Farage?
