      >The plans, that will allow hostile, surveillance and hijacked aircraft to be detected, will be brought to Cabinet this morning

      I wouldn’t trust this government to have the procurement process done in less than two years, not to talk about actually having the system up and running.

      Irelands first military radar system to be delayed by 6 months.

      Welcome to the 20th century, I guess.

      Personally I think the article referring to Ireland’s stance of militarily neutral is hypocritical whilst the government also tries to stop the disclosure of a secret air defence deal with a foreign power in the High Court, a former occupier no less. Maybe this new system will go a way towards making reality out of make believe.

      so we should be having it up and running… and staffed… by….. 2030…2032 at latest, all going well

      Alright….and then what? We just going to ask the hostile or surveillance aircraft to leave?

      And we’re announcing it now?

      Great. Now they’ll definitely see us seeing them coming.

      What’s the point of having radar to detect foreign military assets if we can’t even defend against said foreign military assets. We don’t have any jet fighters or a surface to air missile system

      But we had one, according to the INLA and (they blew up Mount Gabriel)you know Republicans never make a mistake

      The fact there hasn’t been any systems prior to this is a damning indictment of our government

      Only nuclear weapons can provide security to Ireland, we have no interest in aggression or expansion, our only military goals are to deter any possible invasion, we do that by building up a nuclear arsenal (the ultimate deterrent) and getting just enough ships, planes and soldiers to keep watch over them, simple as, no one is going to invade you when you can nuke their homelands in return, until people wake up to this fact Ireland will remain a sitting duck that every competent (and many uncompetent) militaries could take in a day, #NukesforNavan
