Ireland General Discussion

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

It isn't just Sweden and Finland that have moved towards joining NATO after decades of neutrality: 

Poll: More Irish want to join NATO in wake of Ukraine invasion
Russian attack tests Ireland’s neutral posture – and casts a spotlight on weak Irish defenses.

Interesting thought, but I imagine the Irish preference towards neutrality is going to remain pretty strong (especially given how dominant the UK has been in NATO recently)

Russia's actions have doubtless considerably increased the number of Irish supportive of NATO membership. But I'm not so certain the numbers will stay there. Out of sight, out of mind - Russia's in sight, it's now in mind.
