Goldie, could you see the Irish Government doing what could be a high profile deal with the Israelis? It would not be possable to keep it out of the media.
I have posted the opening post on franks site as well, to see what appears there."We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey"

Can anyone give a time frame as to when the tender will go out? I havent seen any articles naming possible replacements since Smith's speech that the tender was going out.
Once it goes to tender whatever best cheapest capable heli has to win. Anything else would breach EU tendering rules. The US firms defintely have a better chance in winning the tender.

Goldie, I think leasing could avoid the tendering process altogether, just by altering the lease to lease to buy when a firm decision had been made to buy, but I would not swear to that."We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey"

So Turkey what's the scoop?
Also I don't believe that leasing versus purchase changes anything as far the legal issues about contract tendering.
Is this being kept top secret or what?

Originally it was reccomended that the 15 assorted type helis be replaced with 8 single type. Considering the workload involved with those helis,and the downtime,6 is below the minimum requirment....unless they are planning to continue with the Medium Lift plan....
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
