## Resource

A sleek French air defense frigate has quietly slipped into Irish waters near Howth Head, part of a secret security boost ahead of Ireland’s EU presidency. Operating just beyond territorial limits and off the radar of Irish ships, the vessel brings vital anti-air capabilities Ireland can’t match — a silent but powerful reminder that allies are stepping in when national defenses fall short.
