About time too. If Ireland gets a couple of serious ASW frigates, that frees the British Royal Navy to face north as per its NATO mission from the GIUK Gap out to Norway.

Sorry, what? What capability do we have to stop Russian subs getting through the GIUK gap into the Atlantic? In peace time we can't shoot at them, and in wartime it's not like we can either find them reliably or if we do then get assets there fast enough to kill them.
