Ireland literally relies on the UK to defend them.

It's hypocritical mooching, plain and simple.

given Britain's entire history wrt Ireland, I'd say defending Ireland is the least they could do.

It's not even about that really. Enemy aircraft in Irish airspace is against British interests. For that matter, Ireland having any sort of military capabilities is probably against British interests. The situation is everything the UK could hope for. I doubt the UK would allow it to change
