What is Ireland going to contribute? A call centre so people can report any invasion?

Hilarious. Ireland couldn't guarantee the security of a boy scout meeting (and a boy scout troop is pretty much what their armed forces amount to).

Our Defence Forces are tiny but we’ll commit 10% of them to a peacekeeping mission (so long as ye lend us some proper IFVs to pootle along in). Who else is promising to do that? The DF have a 30 year, reasonably distinguished history of peacekeeping, mostly in Lebanon, recently did NOT run from IDF

Ireland has a 1 billion € budget for … all its armed forces. No fighter planes. I love you guys, but you have a fighting deterrence of zero.

While Russia has no intention of ending their aggression (they will fight until the last meat wave) they must be even more nervous about pausing the war now since it would mean all these nations sending peacekeepers which would hypothetically make the next offensive more complicated.

I'm not inspired by confidence. They were supposed to stop any Hezbollah forces moving south of the Litani river, & instead watched for years while Hezbollah bombarded villages over the borders while Irish troops watched.

If it’s an UN sanctioned mission, Ireland could probably send a battalion of peacekeepers to patrol any demilitarized zone and observe for violations, but they would not do peace enforcement.

They may well be politically constrained by NATO and ultimately the US. Sporadic announcements of individual states contributing to security guarantee may not deter. It needs to be NATO for Russia to fear.
