@HASO101 Erm, the Pilatus trainers/GAP are current day models. For a prop-plane, it certainly isn't shitty (and due to a lower max speed, it's even somewhat better for the ground attack role than a jet would be. I do agree, though, that a few smaller and cheaper jet fighters (newer versions of the Northrop F-5 ?) would be an improvement for the Air Corps. It's not like Ireland never had any jets in its air forces : During the Cold War, you had some pretty good (mostly British) models in service.
