F**king clown. He's proven himself and his staff to be just as disgustingly childish and bullying as the rest of the government."He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever." -
Was he offered the option to fly down and have a look?Comment

Interesting how this only comes out now. I'm sure it has nothing to do with his rival now being the MOD.Comment

Unlesss we know the specifics regarding the weather locally and nationally it is hard to comment even if at first glance outright cancellation does seem a bit strange.
Regardless, any outside interference to continue is a big no-no and one only has to point to the crash involving the Polish Prime Minister as an example. If the decision has been made, move on to Plan B.Comment

Its past time the Air Corps stopped fawning over ministers on the hope that the Govt Jet and its activity will keep them in the public eye.
It takes Just under 3 hours to drive from Dublin to Cork.
Train takes about the same. The Aircoach only costs €20 and travels on the hour.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.Comment

Whatever the rights and wrongs of flying ministers around, its not dangerous to fly an IFR equipped aircraft to an Airport and shoot an ILS approach and if needs be carry out a missed approach and divert to an Alternate. Thats the bread and butter of IFR aircraft and crews!Comment

That was my thinking and the only mitigating factor to prevent dispatch would be widespread foggy conditions at alternates. Now if that wasn't the case....Originally posted by Charlie252 View Post
Another twist, this was a helicopter not fixed wing. While EICK is perennially fogged, the city is not.Comment

Also, does it strike you that this is a neat little piece of character assassination against the man who hopes to succeed Leo?Comment

And the "very important meeting in Cork" was in fact to open a new extension of a factory in his constituency. Another Mary Harney.Comment

Obviously the minister never came across the old adage of
'Better to be down here wishing you were up there rather than being up there wishing you were down here'
Given the latest from the AC on the matter..I wonder.....Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safeComment

this whole thing is a political dig against Coveney, given that it happened two years ago. Someone dragged this up and the only mystery is whether it was initiated by an FFer or an FGer.Comment
