Now that Eithne, plus or minus the prefix, has displayed capacity for coping with up to 410 souls, does that make a case for all OPV's to have a flight deck for multi faceted operations and humanitarian roles. It seems she might be the only L.E. capable of handling the current task. Are all the questions being asked when we build new ships and are we likely to learn the lessons on offer.

we just got back from Italy and spoke briefly with some Italian and British forces involved in the rescue operations - they said that as the Rescuers ships approach the Immigrants boats - the Migrants are often armed with knives and clubs and the Migrants first action is to ask the approaching vessel if they are from a European country - if the Rescuers are from a non-EU nation then the Migrants threaten the Rescuers and tell them to stay back and resist any attempt to be saved with no chance of entry into Europe, however when the Rescuers confirm they are from a European EU country then the Migrants use their knives and clubs to scuttle / damage their own boat enforcing a full rescue and a ticket into Europe.
there are genuine humanitarian cases - yes, but the fact that on most occasions the Migrants will only accept a rescue from an EU member state and refuse rescue from a non-EU nation tells you that these fcukers just want to freeload into and infiltrate our society.
they should never ever be allowed set foot on European soil, never - and i for one would be more than happy to throw them all into a cargo net and drop them off back in Libya.

I said it here years ago; give the NS their own aircraft, crews and kit. Tying the NS to the Don was a utter waste . The gardai and the Don works only because the gardai took only the bits they wanted and discarded the rest..........steel is cheap. Building a bare hull is the easiest part of shipbuilding in today's CNC world. Countries like South Korea and Japan can churn out any number of ships to any spec. Fitting a hull out with electronics and making the stuff work and talk to the other bits is what soaks up money..........danno, helipads at hospitals is another sorry saga...
