Irish Defence Forces

Email correspondence reveals involvement of the Irish Defence Forces and meetings taking place as early as June 2012 at the ISS Prague conference:

Philip Carey, Irish Defence Forces, to Massimiliano Luppi, on meeting again in Italy in October:

In 2014, further discussions took place on purchasing a solution:

Copied on this email is Ciaran Motherway, Commandant

Irish Defence Forces, eg Intelligence services are “interested in purchasing a solution”

Late 2014, Ciaran Motherway has retired, but “new friends will be introduced”

28/05/2015: Latest update, “looking forward to meet you next week”

(At ISS Prague 2015 that took place in June )

It is not clear from these emails if a solution has indeed been purchased, but negotiations and discussions were clearly taking place over a three year period as these emails show, until very recently.

Just what the Irish Intelligence Forces would do with such a system remain to be explored. Maybe the data trove will uncover further documentation.
