I wonder if they put in a "long-way-around" splice into these forks in the Atlantic, so Ireland would have a connection to Denmark: https://www.submarinecablem

Then you've got this link to the SW tip of UK, that then links to France (via Guernsey & Jersey): https://www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-cable/pan-european-crossing-uk-ireland https://www.submarinecablemap.com/submarine-cable/pan-europe...
There might be an overall direct fibre link.
But yeah, Ireland is at risk of the UK cutting most of their continental Europe capacity.
I've seen some strange investments though that don't seem to add much more on top of what's already there, like this company's: https://crosslakefibre.ca/network/ https://crosslakefibre.ca/network/ But maybe despite ample existing infrastructure, the incumbent providers suck so they can make a successful go at providing a bypass.
