      Its not the crusties, but the "anti war" RSF that are the problem there.

      ARA Libertad is due to visit Cork later in the year, Possibly June.

          Rain stopped play. Just shows their dedication to the cause when a bit of rain keeps the protesters away.

              Delighted to hear that they did not show up I am really getting sick of all these anti-everything. They must lead unreal lives.

                From the Indo today:
                A guided missile frigate from the German Navy is to visit Dublin next month. The March visit by the FSG Augsburg, normally based at Wilhelmshaven, is the latest in a series by NATO navies, including warships from Britain and America. The 3680-ton frigate carries Harpoon anti-ship missiles, and Sea Sparrow and EAM surface-to-air missiles. It has a crew of 219.

                              They do this every year. Malta (Valetta)has seen Irish Naval vessels almost every year since the early 80s. American Trips are almost annual, usually coincide with Paddys day. Kiel is annual, though its rare to see two ships go.
