Yesterday’s Engagement with COMKFOR Major General Enrico Barduani and the @NATO_KFOR delegation.
KFOR is a NATO-led peace support operation in Kosovo, established in 1999 under UN authority to maintain security and freedom of movement for all communities.
The introductory meeting also reinforced professional contacts and opportunities for coordination between NATO and EU efforts in the region, ahead of Major General Barduani taking up his role as Deputy Chair of the European Union Military Committee from 2026.

Very insightful visit to Ukraine this week with high-level engagements with Ukrainian CHOD. Exchanges focused on the current operational situation, defence industry and defence resilience. While General Syrskyi expressed his deepest gratitude for the support received from the EU in Ukraine’s hour of need, I availed of the opportunity to lay a wreath honouring Ukraine’s fallen. This visit displays enduring support and solidarity to Ukraine, building a future on cooperation, complementarity and shared values. Security through unity. Credibility through capability. @kajakallas@KubiliusA@MilitaryTimes@EUDefenceAgency@defis_eu@EUCouncil@EUparliament@EU_Commission@EU_ISS@EP_Democracy@eucopresident
No. 3 Operations Wing completed a neo-natal transfer today from Galway University Hospital to Letterkenny University Hospital, transporting 1-week old twin brothers on the same flight!
Well done to all involved in making this critical tasking happen!

The Irish Air Corps honours the extraordinary life of Group Captain John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway, DFC—an Irishman and the last surviving pilot of the Battle of Britain.

A good wokman never blames his tools. These ones must have come with an extended lifetime warranty. Once ownded by Luigi Diglio great grandfather of Luca and still in use today.
Sitting in my parents and I hear a familiar noise. Thinking to myself that sounds like an AW139, unusual to hear one there in Glasnevin. Go outside for a look, haven"t lost it yet, it was. Hope JP enjoys croker although he was leaving it late
