Dept of Defence to call for new government jet
As part of a series of briefing documents published for new ministers today, a Department of Defence document said a high level inter-departmental group is preparing a report for the Government with recommendations on replacing the main government jet which went out of service in 2014.
The Ministerial Air Transport Service (MATS) is currently served by one small Air Corps learjet capable of flights to the UK and central Europe.
This is being examined as part of an overall equipment purchase programme for the Defence Forces that will see the Navy's flagship LE Eithne being replaced with a new large multi-role vessel (MRV).
MRVs usually include a functional helicopter deck.

Originally posted by Herald View PostBoth are at least an hour away, even if you can close off certain roads. But in the event that either troops or Gardai. or even medical personnel were needed there in a hurry, wouldn't the option of a helipad be a bonus?.

Originally posted by Tempest View PostThat, or as a central pad to rapidly deploy ARW to a central terrorist incident. You never know when you might miss such a facility until it's gone.An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost.
