@roy_kinsella They are not transport aircraft and the citizens decided to travel there despite a stream of warnings from the DFA. Ask the Australian government about it. ..

Using BOTH new C295 maritime Surveillance aircraft, The Defence Forces has capacity to evacuate just 40 🇮🇪 citizens from 🇱🇧 C295 has limited range & would need refuel stops However 100+ 🇮🇪 citizens are currently registered in 🇱🇧 🇮🇪 will AGAIN need help irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4144…

@dohville Just watched Towering Inferno.

@almurray You look better with the close cut.

I've cut my hair for the show tonight. Lucky old Glasgow.

@donlav @SimonHarrisTD The build time for any commercial aircraft is around 9 months, because of the length of time it takes to build the engines and undercarriage forgings and the lead time to order and build computers. The DoD should have kept the 235s as interim cargo aircraft.

Look Ireland? Inaction again. @SimonHarrisTD Our €59m C-295 should arrive around June next year. Hopefully, no emergency evacuations in the next year or so.

@CcibChris I saw a Wing takeoff at Carswell in Fort Worth in 1991. KC 135s went first. Black smoke everywhere.

@gissavemsomjae @thinkdefence They also know hiw to fix things and are good at keeping things going without fuss.

@thinkdefence Anyone with intimate knowledge local topografy and city will beat any skilled agressor. Key is local knowledge, not physical fitness. Old farts rule.

Rear area security, handling prisoners and refugees, military workforce for building defensive positions, logistics support, and fixed point defence Why do you need super fit and young soldiers to do this?

@ErnestMalley That's what people forget about the Me 110,in their rush to condemn it as a day fighter. It had a heavy gun armament, could carry a very good bombload and was deadly to anything except good single engined fighters.

Retimo Sector, Crete, May 13th 1941. Photograph taken by a Gunner with the 2/3rd Field Regiment AIF captures an Me 110 making a very low level attack on defensive positions. #WeHaveWays

@EamonMelia Because we are Mugs and tolerate it.

Why is Ireland the most expensive country in the world for everything. Has it anything to do with zero regulation on anything or anybody and zero govt concern for consumers to the benefit of corporations.

@mark_mellett @dohville @MaritimeReg @vincentguerend @FranceIrelandCh You might have a word with her about actual practical equality between French fishermen and ours. As a mariner yourself, you know perfectly well that they have the run of Irish waters yet our fishermen don't have the same access to theirs.

Delighted with Laura Brien CEO @MaritimeReg to have a rich discussion with HE @vincentguerend French Ambassador to Ireland As we face the challenges of three crises; climate, biodiversity & energy, the opportunities from our rich maritime resource in 🇮🇪 & 🇫🇷 are enormous.

@ColetteColfer @Karina84644708 None of your business. Votes are secret for a reason.

With a week to the referendums in Ireland… what way are you voting?

@NiecyOKeeffe @WittyBangBang He has a Niecy doll and sticks pins in just to hear Niecy howl in Corkonian. OWWW, like!!

@WittyBangBang Nothing. I just don’t like him.

Little bollix should be sent down the mines.

@NiecyOKeeffe So that's a pint of Temple Bar Rockshite or an autograph. Mmmm. Decisions, decisions...

@mbevan2002 Tenner a go.

Fucking Nora.

@GCraughwell Any chance you'd devote some time to helping the men and women dying from poisoning by chemicals in Baldonnel? Medals are all very well but stolen lives are more important.

@NiecyOKeeffe Crafty Irish snow sneaks up on Met Eireann.

Met Eireann: We don’t have a crystal ball. Me:

@judesherry Jude, hand over your mobile phone so. Technology developed in Israel or by Jews and others outside Israel exists in all mobiles so whenever you are ready....

Now do the economic meassures and boycott genociders #BoycottIsrael

@AidanOSulliva15 It's OK, the national Fleet of soccer mums in SUVs outside the school gates will save us.. they will, won't they?

Start panic buying bread and toilet paper folks, Ireland is about to collapse in a heap with this light snowfall … #sneachta

@lukeming Next time you come back to Ireland, look a Ukrainian in the eye and tell them why you voted no.

Just voted on a resolution on Ukraine which contains text about providing military aid. In line with Irelands position of military neutrality I did not support it.

@DerelictDrawda @anoisagency @louthcoco No chance of getting the head of Louth Coco before an Oireachtas committee, to explain why he or she is doing this? Everyone wants to beat up RTE in committee instead.

#Drogheda is littered with examples of this cosy relationship. Even @louthcoco are in on the act with a few high profile examples of their own. It's a blight on the town and a sad reflection on their stewardship.

@Aerotiques @aviosAdventurer @Specsavers A significant amount of business aircraft are not flown full and many are positioned empty. It has more to do with write offs and corporate vanity than anything else.

@aviosAdventurer @Specsavers That’s what General Aviation is all about. Many High Street names and Blue Chips use aircraft efficiently and effectively. Some choose not to publicise it, others, like @Specsavers are more open. 👍👍
