[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":4},["ShallowReactive",2],{"event-plain-establishment-of-the-irish-air-corps":3},"The Irish Air Corps was formally established on November 4, 1924, as part of the reorganization of the Irish Free State's Defence Forces under the Defence Forces Act. Its origins trace back to the National Army Air Service, formed in 1922 during the Anglo-Irish Treaty talks. Initially an army air corps, it played a crucial role in developing Ireland's aviation capabilities and national defense, though it did not operate as a separate military service until 1997. The corps has since been responsible for various duties, including aerial surveillance, transport, and support for other branches of the Irish Defence Forces.",1789333840079]
