    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.

    They used to be part of an empire, that of Spain. They used to be part of Nueva España. They broke from Mexico around the time it rebelled from Spain.

    Better still they could just become part of the Empire.
