@JackOSheabutch @defenceforces @OC_Collins_Bks @1Bde_Official @IrishAirCorps @df_recruitment I don't know TBH. I think there's a bigger national political/cultural apathy and indifference towards defence which is always going to hinder CAPDEV, investment and recruitment

@JackOSheabutch @defenceforces @OC_Collins_Bks @1Bde_Official @IrishAirCorps @df_recruitment That's an over simplification. Military assets can be reassigned from an Aid to the Civil Authority task to a defence/security task at any time because it's a higher priority. Refitting aircraft is standard practice when you have a limited number of airframes doing multiple roles
@JackOSheabutch @defenceforces @OC_Collins_Bks @1Bde_Official @IrishAirCorps @df_recruitment I get your point but... All the kit would be crippling to manage in terms of material, manpower and training cost. A very well thought out/defined/connected and delivered strategy is better
@JackOSheabutch @defenceforces @OC_Collins_Bks @1Bde_Official @IrishAirCorps @df_recruitment Needs to be driven from the top down i.e. national defence strategy. Speak to your local TD and make your voice heard
@JackOSheabutch @defenceforces @OC_Collins_Bks @1Bde_Official @IrishAirCorps @df_recruitment Your original point was about the ability to sling bales of silage to Kerry and Donegal. 139s and 135s are more than capable of doing that. Of course you can do more/different things with different aircraft but that's a very different and much longer conversation
@JackOSheabutch @defenceforces @OC_Collins_Bks @1Bde_Official @IrishAirCorps @df_recruitment The capability to undersling cargo is available though so I don't get your point
@JackOSheabutch @defenceforces @OC_Collins_Bks @1Bde_Official @IrishAirCorps @df_recruitment The current heli fleet is more than enough for slinging bales. The unit just needs to be tasked to do it if it's even required at all

It's all kicking off!
Day 485 of my 3 day war. Russia is invading Russia to free Russia from those who invaded Russia to free Russia from those who invaded Russia. I remain a master strategist.
Delighted to be able to help a great team of very smart people do very smart people stuff!

Episode 6 is live! This week we reflect on the massive effort it took to organize an actual interview, discuss how to make yourself popular with COVID and the uncover mystery of the Mosney Massacre and why @Paul_OConnell gave up on his swimming career
Jay O'Reilly retweeted
The ARWA wish to congratulate @IrishAirCorps on their centenary celebrations today and all the best to the new pilots who received their wings. Close contact and friendship established over the years have been pivotal in the evolution of the ARW.
Listen in to the greatest interview of all time! (Definitely not biased) We got to chat to two people who are training to row across the Atlantic later this year
Don't you just hate it when you wait ages for an interview then two appear at once! Meet two of the @RowHardRgoHome team and hear their amazing story in ep 5 of the #podcast @DecathlonIE @WoodiesIreland @RannochNews @Johnbelton @SafeTrx @ACampaigns open.spotify.com/episode/7yYa8Z…
Look to the skies tomorrow! The @IrishAirCorps 100th birthday flypast is going to be epic!
As part of tomorrow’s Centenary ceremony, there will be a mass flypast review of @IrishAirCorps aircraft. Cast your eyes to the skies at approx 1100hrs, when the flypast will route along the River Liffey to Dublin Bay before returning to Baldonnel. #IAC100
