The lefties want our ships to be knitted by Eritrean refugees or donated by Ghaddafi, depending on which hue of Irish lefties we are talking about. They still didn't stop the Beckett going to London. Public opposition has never, ever been a barrier to military spending. The problem starts and stops in the government and the department.
To be fair, government management in every sector has been a case of small thinking and minimum effort occasionally punctuated by vanity projects. Then let the private sector or religious orders take up the slack.
Sending the Samuel Beckett to an arms fair actually fits right in! I'm just waiting for the contract to run the naval service to be put out to tender...Last edited by expat01; 19 September 2017, 08:28.

Building to Naval or Commercial Standards ( often Llyod's Rules ) is a choice between functionality underpinned by speed, profile, and equipment fitted to International naval shock Standards OR building a stronger Commercial hull to an agreed Navalised design , supervised by the Insurance Society Chosen, with initial guarantees and fitted with OTS items and Government Furnished Items, such as weapons and FCS. The commercial hull is likely to have a much longer operational life and can be tweaked to improve survivability in matters of Damage Control, and ABCN at owners cost.

It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
It was a new age...It was the end of history.
It was the year everything changed.

To be honest, the ILV Granuaile covers most of the criteria too.Last edited by na grohmiti; 24 January 2018, 22:07.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Reason why I posted it was the CPV replacement with counter mine capacity could be diving based

I notice in the NDP there is no specific mention of the replacement of the CPVs, this is worrying.
Given that the waters off our East/South East coast are soon going to be highly contested I would have thought we should be looking at this as a point of urgency. We have the UK leaving the CFP, revoking the 1964 London Fishery Convention and possibly (still the plan) to leave the common market and customs union. All which means that the policing effort will increase dramatically as a result.
