Please be aware there is a error contained in my original tweet the Scrap Cert Report (SCR) Number stated above is incorrect it should have been SCR No 02/03 apologies

[patrick gorman @patrick39477065]

In the Defence Force’s it would be extremely unusual if not impossible for an item that was scrapped to be put back into service.The following questions need to be answered.

Why was this Air Purifier not disposed of back in 2003 as was required.

Who is responsible for putting this Air Purifier back into service and what process was used to do so.

Why were the personnel that had used air fed Masks fed by this Air Purifier not informed of the potential risk to their health.

@Aircorps @SimonHarrisTD @GOCAirCorps @GCraughwell

The Air Corps had an Air Purifier in service which was originally installed in 1996 which for years was NOT serviced as per the manufacturer’s recommendations i.e at six monthly intervals. Wait for it the best yet to come. This very same Air Purifier was scrapped on the 18 of August 2003 Scrap Cert Report (SCR)No 03/02. Some years later it was put back into service. It was eventually inspected in 2024 and was found to be in an extremely poor state and was immediately condemned. Work that one out. The manufacturer of this Air Purifier suggests that it has a safe life span of 15 years, this obviously would be subject to its condition and whether or not it had been serviced as per the manufacturer’s recommendations i.e at six month intervals. The implications of the aforementioned is that the personnel using air fed masks fed by this Air Purifier were potentially breathing contaminated air, yet to the best of my Knowledge not one of these personnel have been notified of the potential risks to their health, this is a serious failure of duty of care and highly disrespectful to the personnel involved. It is extremely questionable as to whether or not the Air Corps has a functioning health and safety culture. Nothing seems to have changed since I made a protected disclosure to the minister and a complaint to the HSA in 2016 in which I highlighted serious failing in health and safety pertaining to the use of dangerous chemicals in the Air Corps. An important point to note is that Not one commissioned officer used an air fed mask fed by this Air Purifier. Yet again not one person is held accountable for the above. In the Defence Force’s it would be extremely unusual if not for an item that was scrapped to be put back into service.

@nwl88444048 It’s also the case that the basis of Amie’s case was brought to the attention of the leadership of PDFORRA who failed to take any action on the issue.

[patrick gorman @patrick39477065]

@nwl88444048 I too was a member of the national executive of PDFORRA and know Amie well. While Amie’s case is now the subject of legal proceedings I cannot comment on same. What I can say is Amie’s case is well founded

Went to vote yesterday and there was only a pencil to make the ballet paper, so I asked one of the officials present for a lend of her pen to mark my Ballet paper she said there are pencils provided for that purpose I explained that the Ballet paper was a legal document I asked her would it be except able for for her to sign a legal document with a pencil, she replied no to which I replied therefore ink must be used to mark the ballet paper to prevent tampering. She said that the ballet boxes were sealed and would be picked up up by the Garda at the end of voting and secured until the vote count the next morning. I asked her what is to stop the Garda from somehow getting the ballet papers out of the boxes changing the vote by erasing the original pencil vote then putting them back into the ballot box? It would essentially the perfect crime. Needless to say that I made my vote using a pen.

While i hate banks and Vulture funds and how they threat people Connolly was working as a barrister and was obligated to do the work. However Helen McEntee was not when she voted on two occasions to vote to lift the eviction ban making 1000s homeless. McEntee is the Hypocrite here.
