Hm, the Irish Aircorps should need say 12-15 jets that can outpace any current commercial or biz jets, with nothing more complicated than a cannon and a couple of older model sidewinders or something like that. Financing shouldnt be too hard. Withdraw from service the alouttes, beechcraft, cessna, gazelles, dauphin, the defender, one or maybe two of the ships from the Navy, and put a couple of cents on the pint of Guiness:D . Really the Corps need maybe another CASA, a few more light helicopter like the Squirrels they with the surveillance gear and provision for a trainable gun or something akin, a couple more helicopters for Coastguard duties cos its a huge coastline to cover with one S61 plus 3 or 4 medium lift helicopters, something cheap like overhauled Mil Hips. They have a lot of responsibility for such a small nation and a small force like that, is required but still hard to finance.
