Similarly even if the government does achieve its goal and joins NATO it will absolutely shit itself the second it's asked to go to war. You think our current stance was "hypocritical", lol mate you ain't seen nothing yet.

Our armed forces are in a shambles btw due to recruitment and retention problems stemmimg from poor pay and working conditions, which this will of course do absolutely nothing to address. There's no real long term plan here even if the goal is increased militarisation. It's all weird signalling

I'll be honest, I'm fairly convinced that this won't change that much in and of itself (like what are we going to do, solo run peacekeeping missions? come on) but this all seems part of the government's inexplicable obsession with creating a permission structure for themselves to join NATO

I truly can't recall an issue where the government have so openly worked against the will of the Irish people. Time and again, polls have shown this is a fringe position in Ireland and yet FFG are fighting tooth and nail for it. This represents a fundamental change to how we identify as a country.
