Threat of return to violence in North: Defence Forces' officers' body
Conflict reigniting in the North due to Brexit or a border poll is “highly possible”, the representative body for officers of the Defence Forces says.
The body also says that the lack of air defence capabilities means that Irish airspace is the “weak underbelly” of Europe — an issue exposed in the last week by Russian bomber planes entering Irish-controlled airspace, sparking the scrambling of British RAF fighter jets to intercept them.
