Had an hour to spare this evening and decided to see what the political parties have to say regarding the DF an the air corps.
Fine Gael election manifesto
Another interesting paragraph
Fine Fail election manifesto
No mention of the Air Corps or even Defence in general.
Green Party election manifesto
No mention of Defence
Sinn Fein election manifesto
No mention of the Air Corps or Defence.
Labour election manifesto
No mention of the Air Corps but a small section on Defence. Looks like they will maintain the triple lock.
opinions after the beep!
Fine Gael election manifesto
7.3 Air Corps
Drug Interdiction: We will maximise the resources available to the Air Corps to target the illegal
importation of drugs into Ireland.
Ministerial Air Transport Service (MATS): We will introduce a new code of practice for the use of
the government jet ensuring cost effective and transparent travel. To stamp out any abuse, cheaper
commercial alternatives must be taken when possible.

Overseas Missions: We believe that the Triple Lock must be modified to allow Ireland participate in
peacekeeping missions. The failure of the UN Security Council to pass a resolution should not prevent us
from taking part in overseas missions. We believe that Irish troops should be capable of being deployed at
short notice, if requested, to assist in emergency relief efforts at times of humanitarian crises.
