I’ve no issue with people having cats,but hearing their ability to kill wild animals being championed on a poplar evening current affairs radio show is very odd. It’s estimated they kill 16 million birds a year in Ireland. I think we need a bit more responsible messaging.
After reviewing nearly 300 submissions, there’s strong support for strengthening Ireland’s maritime security. Many of the themes reflect what I included in my own submission, and what I’ve seen highlighted elsewhere.
Big boys: "The barrier for entry to this table, is nukes"
Finland: "No nukes, but I have a million snow forest loving Reservists under arms, with a fetish for artillery, ready and waiting in nature's very own murder aqua-park"

This is a handsome, faux oak-grained or 'scumbled' double-leaf door set, likely made of pine, with vigorous Greek key carving. The deeply moulded, expressive panels are typical of Dublin's 1830s architecture.
On the 26th of September 2023, the MV Matthew was interdicted by the Joint Task Force (JTF) on Drug Interdiction. The JTF consists of the Revenue Customs Service, An Garda Síochána and the Naval Service as the lead representatives for the Defence Forces.
During this operation, all three services of Óglaigh na hÉireann were deployed. The Naval Service's L.E. William Butler Yeats interdicted the MV Matthew, while the Air Corps' C295 and PC12 provided surveillance and overwatch to enable an AW139 to deploy members of the Army Ranger Wing by fast rope onto the MV Matthew to secure and take control of the vessel.
These unique skillsets provided by Óglaigh na hÉireann, supported Revenue Customs Service and An Garda Síochána in making the largest drugs seizure in the history of the state. The operation represents the culmination of the constant planning and preparation conducted by our people, across all the three services of Óglaigh na hÉireann.
Can we please recognise that real people are being harmed and killed because of murderous regimes and power mad old men that won't just have a fucking heart attack already and leave us all alone?
