@Denis_Hurley Sam McCarthy anything to Timmy Denis?

Because the government won't deliver state autism services and rely on charities. It's not fit for purpose. These NGOs should have an advocacy role but they are hardly going to advocate against their own interests. The vulnerable suffer.

@roy_kinsella @EastVeterans I cannot get my head around it? Where is this coming from??

[Mike Boland @galteeboy84]

@ConorHogarty @defenceforces @MichealMartinTD Does anyone else find it strange that a senior civil servant is so high profile? I would struggle to name the general secretary of departments multiple times bigger than the DOD but this sec gen seems to be more visible than any of the actual part time ministers of defence…

[Mike Boland @galteeboy84]

@dohville There is an argument to be made as to what masters some of the civil servants in DOD serve and for how long has this been allowed to continue.

Helicopter recognition training for @HMcEntee civil servants…. If they can’t even get that right it’s little wonder that the 88 pages of management guff isn’t inspiring confidence (to anyone) @roy_kinsella

Decision to purchase in 2021. Cost just under €1bn for a squadron of 10 single seat, and 2 two-seater Ex French Air Force Dassault Rafale. Fully operational by 2026. Why can't Ireland do this?

@roy_kinsella @sinnfeinireland A picture that pretty much sums up security affairs in the country….

[Ted Leddy @TedLeddy]

This is one of the most telling exchanges you’ll ever see on Irish radio. RTE’s O’Mongain reminds Boyd Barrett that Russia invaded ALL OF UKRAINE & only failed due to heroic resistance & because Ukraine was well armed by the west.RBB loses his cool & argues for total capitulation

[Mike Boland @galteeboy84]

@roy_kinsella Agree. Good to see. Is that our entire air defence capability now gone? Limited as it was?

🦜⛵Pirate meets smuggler in Cork Harbour

An epic moment on the water as the Galeón Andalucía, a replica of the mighty Spanish galleons that once roamed the high seas, passes a modern cargo vessel right here in Cork Harbour.

⚓️ A clash of maritime legends, past meets present in spectacular style!

“today's Business Post/Red C poll lays bare this fallacy propagated by the political system. The poll shows that Irish voters are far more tuned into the risks and exposure the country faces from a security perspective”

@roy_kinsella @EastVeterans Great photo. New to me too Roy. Never knew aer lingus had their dc3's in such colour schemes.

[Mike Boland @galteeboy84]

@bbboatclub Of course there’s a lobbying group. How naive do u have to think that people who run weapons manufacturers aren’t in it for the money? That still doesn’t mean we can’t defend ourselves or are unwilling to debate it.Maybe take your head out of the sand as well as that plastic bag

@roy_kinsella Who will we start begging seats on planes from this time?

@okeefehistorian @YouTube Miss this show. Hope of a new series David?

Utterly embarrassing again at a time when the DF is trying to promote their game changer of the new MPA. It’s only game changing if it’s available.

@BerryCathal @defenceforces @JackHoJo @GCraughwell @dfatirl @NationsIrish @OneFuchsia @ARCOIreland @pdforra @RACO_DF @RDFRepAssoc @NiallJournal_ie There is something profoundly wrong at the official level in this country regarding defence. U can add this to any number of similarly bizarre decision making and ‘policy’ interpretation. I’m loathe to start throwing out terms like compromised and infiltrated but if the shoe fits
