    Yeah, remember it was just before the decrease of natural disasters ... and after the spat with (checks notes) Hugh Grant.
    Ahh yeah, now I remember the day after the age old question was answered "Guinness or Murphys which is better?"

Leo has to think twice before using any aircraft for anything that isn't served by public transport. Even the ministerial transport fleet is much older than it was once kept.

      This is boylans rant on twitter.
      Made the colossal mistake of clicking into both Boylan's twitter replies and the journal comments. I know I should know better and expect it, but I'm going to have to go wash my eyes out with bleach!

      • Why does a "classic hits" radio station need a Talk Show?
        In fact why does Ireland have so many talk shows, is the waiting list to get on Joe Duffy so long that these wind bags will just talk to anyone else who will listen?
        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.

            I read the Journal's and that was more than enough for me, no way am I looking at his feed (for anything tbh).

              It fulfils their public service broadcasting criteria. All non state broadcasters need to dedicate some of their broadcast hours to news and public affairs. This is how 4fm manages. He used to be on one of the late night dial a rant shows in Dublin before he went national. Likes the sound of his own voice too much. Facts not important, as long as there is "discussion".
              For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

                His late night rant shows were on quite frequently on my insomniac shifts, a toxic mix of racists, conspiracy theorists and general moaners, it has gotten worse since. It was like Joe Duffy for really tired cranky crazy people.

                But like today it was predicated on the principal of "why be informed when you can use your feelings as your facts!". I believe the same slogan might be rather representative of defence policy in Ireland

                        If you are watching, and I am watching, who are the other 2 people watching?

                          He seemed to clarify there,
                          6 Aircraft.
                          4 PC12
                          2 C295.

                          • Does anybody know what the electronic outfit will be? Kehoe has been crowing about it, but my understanding is that it fundamentally is only a video pod?

                              One of those PC12s seems to have no electronic fit? Is it going to be used for utility purposes?

                                Video pod can be fitted from the factory in Switzerland. There is a bit more to it than that, and the less we know about it the better for everyone. It's an ISR aircraft. Similar fitout to the U-28A.
