Isn’t our GDP artificially inflated and therefore less useful for these comparisons?
Irish GDP is approx 1.75 times the reality.
On that basis, in 2025 we expect to spend around 0.5% of our modified GNI with that rising slowly every year for the remainder of the current government.
I don’t expect us to ever reach 1.0% of modified GNI, but 0.75% is possible if things really start heading south around us.
I know the government claim that some future government _may_ raise spending to 1.5%, but anything anybody says about some future government I’d take with a pinch of salt.
Are the Atlantic ports still valued as a defence against submarine warfare?
We need to pull our weight to earn a place in the new world order tbh. Last thing we want to be is ostracized by EU for being freeloaders after everything settles in another few years. Need to be able to at a minimum defend our own interests and ideally contribute to general EU defence
Ours is low, but it’s not THAT low as the GDP is largely just money multinationals moving value around.
We spent €1.22bn on defence in 2023, it would still rank it as one of the lowest in the world on a % of public expenditure basis.
Good. We shouldn’t be spending a penny more supporting genociders
Screw you Iceland!
Would’ve been lovely if the housing problem was sorted before it became mandatory to start pissing money away on the off chance there’s a war.
