They certainly had one when they sent the Brits packing in '21.
They even had 2 for a while shortly after that...

If they will become part of the empire of an inferior country then what do they expect.

They have had one for quite a while apparently http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Army

Now that you come to mention it, I saw some RI military staff in Kosovo a few years ago if my memory serves me correctly.

RI also have a Navy and air force it seems.

Better still they could just become part of the Empire.
