I have an idea, for an Alternate history story. With Ireland entering a resource boom in the 1960s.
The idea was uranium mining in Donegal, gave a third Blaney Brother who was an engineer, a powerbase. With that powerbase, he intervened in Northern Ireland. Think Cansore point on steroids.

Interesting to think what Ireland could have done if Fracking was developed in the 1970s
