@MichealMartinTD remember 2017? Still no comments from anyone on this 🤔. How can @HMcEntee announce huge spending for the @defenceforces in the next 4 years and send millions in overseas aid at the drop of a hat but leave #sick#IrishAirCorps#veterans in the gutter to rot?
@HMcEntee Why are @NTMA_IE forcing a disabled #IrishAirCorps veteran to fly 33,000km+ cattle class to see their psychiatrist, psychologist & neurologist who we all know are going to lie anyway?
Can the State Claims Agency not find expert liars abroad?
Video calls please!
@En_Mkok@RDM90004212@xAviation Because selecting the lever down has a different set of protocols. The “Weight On Wheels” (WOW) switches let the brain of the aircraft know when the aircraft has settled on the ground which allows functions that can only happen on the ground to take place.

@machlooper@CathCallaghanTD If our colleague Catherine Callaghan cared she would have helped already.
She's happy to call for officer cadets pay rises, but like Berry, is utterly silent on the catastrophic health of many #IrishAirCorps colleagues, people she lived & worked with!

This article highlights the lack of empathy and downright disrespect successive governments have had for sick serving and retired Ahr Corps personnel. @PresidentIRL
Deeply worrying report on @RTE_PrimeTime on former Aer Corps personnel being exposed to dangerous chemicals, right up until recent times.
Shocking, but unfortunately, still no Government has acted on it, despite many premature deaths and serious illnesses
Chemical concerns: Former Air Corps staff allege toxic exposure. Documentary tonight at 9:35pm on RTÉ1 with producer @Sallyannegodson @RTE_PrimeTime #rtept https://t.co/aRuL9P209j
#TonightVMTV@MichealMartinTD@fiannafailparty
when in opposition he was outspoken and acknowledged the wrongdoing now that he is in government and in a very leading position is he going to stand by his position when in opposition or is he going to just be a hypocrite
#TonightVMTV
chemical exposure in the Irish Defence Forces—specifically within the Air Corps at Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel—is a long-running scandal involving allegations of systemic health and safety failures.
#TonightVMTV
Whistleblowers and survivors have long alleged that the "erosion" of safety standards didn't stop at the workshop door—it extended to the literal ground beneath the base.
#TonightVMTV
The scandal isn't just that PPE wasn't used; it's that it was explicitly requested and denied for decades.
The 1994 Memos: Documents surfaced during discovery showing that as far back as 1994, junior officers and technicians were sounding the alarm
#TonightVMTV
There is a fundamental moral contract when someone steps up to serve their country: they offer their youth, their health, and potentially their life to protect the State, and in return, the State has an absolute duty to protect them from unnecessary harm.
