There has been a lot of talk about the NOAA Lockheed WP-3D Orion aircraft in Shannon this week.

The aircraft, N42RF aka “Kermit” is in Shannon for the next while as they monitor Storm Éowyn which hits Ireland on Friday morning!

Q: What do scientists onboard do?🤔

Scientists aboard the aircraft deploy GPS dropwindsondes as NOAA pilot and navigate the P-3 through the hurricane/storm. These instruments continuously transmit measurements of pressure, humidity, temperature, and wind direction and speed as they fall toward the sea, providing a detailed look at the structure of the storm and its intensity. The P-3s' tail Doppler radar and lower fuselage radar systems, meanwhile, scan the storm vertically and horizontally, giving scientists and forecasters a real-time look at the storm. The P-3s can also deploy probes called bathythermographs that measure the temperature of the sea.

This aircraft will likely fly into storm Éowyn to study it, I will share tracking details if/when it becomes available!

Electoral Commission

Subject: Election Subversion

Date: 29th May 2024

Dear Sir,

We are writing to you on behalf of the Irish Freedom Party, Ireland First, National Party and The Irish People, who are all political parties fully registered with the Electoral Commission. These parties have a large number of candidates contesting both the European and Local elections nationwide.

We wish to inform you that RTE is in serious breach of the updated Rule 27 of the Code of Fairness, Objectivity and Impartiality in News and Current Affair as can be seen clearly from the Guidelines in Respect of Coverage of Election recently issued by Coimisiún na Meán.

We believe this ongoing breach is malicious with the objective of subverting the election process by the removal of our parties and candidates perspectives from RTEs coverage of the election. The result of this is to make our political views, perspectives, parties and candidates invisible to the general public and hence the electorate. We have not had this problem with regional or International broadcasters (e.g. EuroNews, Dutch Radio 1): this is a national broadcaster problem i.e. an RTE problem. This is outrageous and an attempt to subvert the outcome of these elections by hiding our candidates, parties and perspectives from the electorate. Not one of our European or Local candidates or Party representatives have been invited to a debate, panel discussion or ANY RTE radio or Television program, nor has there been any coverage of our parties or candidates online or via social media. We have received collectively ZERO coverage from the national broadcaster RTE.

Under the guidelines of Section 4.2 Allocation of Airtime for Election Candidates and Political Parties, broadcasters, including RTE, are mandated to ensure a fair allocation of airtime during election coverage. This can be achieved either through an equal allocation of airtime for all candidates and political parties, or, through a proportional approach that considers relevant contextual factors. However, RTE has consistently failed to adhere to either method in relation to our parties and candidates.

Key contextual factors that have been ignored include:

1.   Number of Candidates: One of our parties has fielded a significantly higher number of candidates compared to other parties that have received more airtime. Despite this, we have been systematically excluded from ANY coverage.

2.   Diversity of Political Perspectives: The guidelines also emphasise the importance of reflecting a broad range of political perspectives. Our stances, particularly on issues such as asylum and immigration, aligns closely with the concerns demonstrated in recent opinion polls. However, our views, which significantly differ from those of other parties, have been consistently marginalised and hidden from the electorate.

The exclusion of our parties, candidates and perspectives not only breaches the guidelines but also undermines the democratic process by depriving the public of a comprehensive understanding of all political positions. We demand immediate corrective action from RTE and other broadcasters to ensure compliance with the guidelines and to provide equitable and fair airtime to our parties and candidates.

In the European debates only 8 candidates were allowed due to space restrictions the public were informed, however RTE could platform 15 candidates for the Mayoral election in Limerick.

The breaches are not limited to section 4.2 but also extend to 4.3 Diversity of Viewpoints & 4.4 Audience Participation....

That low system for tonight and tomorrow morning is now looking very nasty with latest weather models showing it bringing very strong gusts early Monday morning along with very heavy rain. Keep an eye on forecasts and I expect warnings will be issued.
