About this episode
Donald Trump’s visit to Ireland next week will put huge pressure on the state’s security and defence apparatus and it’s forcing an uncomfortable question: are we actually ready for modern threats? Pat is joined by Kevin Byrne, retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Air Corps & Patrick Bury, defence expert at the University of Bath and former NATO analyst, to unpack what’s involved: airspace closures, the movement of Air Force One and Marine One, naval protection, and the growing risk from drones and cyber attacks.
