WI The De valera had made a different set of moral and political calculations and declared war on the Nazis because they had bombed Irish territory (I mean the 6 Counties rather than the apparently accidental bombing of Dublin.)

1) How big a difference would Irish bases in the South West have actually made to the Battle of the Atlantic?

2) How big of a difference would they have been seen as having made byt people living in such a timeline?

3) How much difference would that make to relations with the North?

4) Would there have been any measurable downside for the UK and US?


I accept that this was unlikely but I am aware that Irish Neutrality was an issue which Unionists especially liked to bring up.
