We need to increase our number of troops from 7,500 to 30,000 as quickly as possible. A year-long national service for young people should be considered
God help us if Russia decides to invade Ireland in the morning. All it would take is an attack force of 20,000 troops and we would be like lambs to the slaughter.
Secondly, never in the history of either the Soviet Union or Russia itself has Moscow had such an interest in this country. If you speak to any foreign diplomat in the know or international defence expert, they will tell you straight up that Russia has carried out more manoeuvres in Irish waters in the past few years than it did in decades.
All the internet cables for the world land on our west coast and pass through our country, so if you want to shut down the internet and the financial markets, you shut down Ireland. Recruitment for the IRA - the Irish Republican Army - which is the name of our defence force in English, should be one of our top national priorities. We need new ships to patrol our seas and 20 fighter jets to patrol our skies. The politicians don't want to make an immediate defence investment and instead want to do it over several years.
We would all like peace with Russia. The Russian people are not the problem, it's Putin himself. He has been a dictator now for over two decades and his dream is to recreate the old Soviet Union, but it will never happen. Congratulations Congratulations to my journalistic colleague, the former TV newsreader Alison Comyn, who has been appointed to the Seanad by Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
The match was all blood and guts and got the box-office finish it deserved when Everton got a cracking equaliser in the 99th minute of injury time with the last kick of the game.
