@RuthZakh IT and MSM are a national embarrassment, destroying the country's standing worldwide....or what's left of it.

@gavpepper85 Let the mayor do as he wishes with those lights as long as he keeps his grubby hands away from our Christmas.

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@FineGael Not true. FG disinformation. Dishonest with the public.

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@ThomasByrneTD God help us. You can't even organise your own national budget.....

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@donlav @IrishPoliticsNL There is a lack of clear messaging from DoD....a few days ago a Minister announced that the defence budget could / would double to €3m by 2028....and now this. Where is the Sec Gen? Where is the Minister? (If we had a Minister)

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@roy_kinsella I said it all along. Wait until the Presidency is over and its back to zero. Bye bye LOA2.

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@roy_kinsella Don't hold your breath.

@IndexSabot Irish AMLs were transported by Mi 26 helis from Monrovia to Freetown Sierra Leone.

@Mupper41 @AbubakerAbedW Please leave our country...right now. You are not wanted here.

@IndoSport Did I miss the statements by the LGFA and Camogie Association on this issue?

@KeithMillsD7 2

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@RACO_DF And having the RN off our coast providing security is an admission that we are NOT neutral, just plain defenceless and not even non-aligned due to allowing the use of Shannon airport for the military purposes of another nation involved in war.

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@dohville Defence is being able to defend the country and its critical infrastructure. We cannot do that. Critical infrastructure assets need to be prioritised in order of importance for the defence of the State.

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@griptmedia Same with the piece RTE did on e-scooters.

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@caulmick Somebody should remind MM what he said after a member of the Defence Forces was recently convicted of a serious assault. He made a big deal about the DF culture. Does FF culture accept drink driving among its elected members?

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@JohnEdwardLee @IrishMailSunday @DailyMail Question for An Taoiseach : is this drink driving part of the culture in FF? You were very quick to point the finger at the entire Defence Forces both serving and retired when one member was convicted of a serious assault. Any comments now Taoiseach?

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@Ailinocochlain We have not learned from the Bush visit to Shannon in 2004 when a private light aircraft approached if not breached the exclusion zone as AF 1 approached.

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@roy_kinsella Has anybody asked how much Ireland is paying the UK MoD for this? Or what we have to give back in return?

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@Ailinocochlain The legality of all this along with RoEs, protocols, chain of command etc would make interesting reading if they exist.

[JosephGerrard @Joseph260859]

@roy_kinsella The RoEs as described would not stand up to scrutiny. An Irish LO on board a French vessel is not in the chain of command. So....who gives the final order to engage. If it's an ATCP operation, at what stage do the Garda hand over to the DF where threats are immediate.
