What would that gain the Russian's though? No intelligence to be collected, just another country to add as an opponent. The Russian's have played their diplomatic hand spectacularly badly recently but even they have limits on stupidity. Don't get me wrong the UK would be very happy if Ireland had primary radar (discretely linked into their own air picture) and 12 or so Gripen....but the real threat to Ireland is Russia messing with undersea infrastructure...
