Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostThe Government in answer to a Deputy Healy In October 2018, has indicated that it is proceeding to conduct a procedure for the replacement of LE EITHNE, with an MRV ,at an approximate cost of 200m Euro. The Deputy has insular land bound tendencies and was proposing that it should be cancelled. Their are no friends when it comes to improving the States responses to international emergencies or requests for HADR assistance. I think we will have to await for responses from possible contractors and rely on our experts to make viable productive choices with a range of role capabilities.
Enda Kenny announced he was sending a ship to the Med on the news
1 Government department attempted to block it ... it wasn’t Foreign Affairs (who would see the MRV as an excellent tool)Last edited by DeV; 25 May 2019, 12:25.

Originally posted by Sparky42 View PostFFS, what a joke from the Department that attempted to block it, was it going to cost too much for them? As you say an MRV if it's used extensively for International operations would be a handy tool for Foreign Affairs.
The electronic Irish Statute Book (eISB) comprises the Acts of the Oireachtas (Parliament), Statutory Instruments, Legislation Directory, Constitution and a limited number of pre-1922 Acts.
It wasn’t just DF and DoD in the room when this happened it included other Departments
This isn’t heresay either

Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostWe are in any event members of the UN and also a member of the EU and its Agreements. Our politicians often mention traditional neutrality, however it was born at a time that the only viable alliance would have been with our adjacent and lodging neighbour. We were not in a mind to help so we used neutrality as means of indicating displeasure in our fragmented circumstances, however we did allow our nationals to join other forces in their thousands. we also bent rules so as not to impede general defence of the islands.
Fortunately (in this case) they don’t even know the legislation that governs them.
Thankfully the DF had already done their homework

Originally posted by ancientmariner View PostI agree that DoD is a blocking agency and isn't supportive of steps to establish and maintain an efficient fighting force. They see their duty to minimise costs and not be perturbed at loss of an operational norm. Hopefully we will continue with overseas training and participation where possible.

It was done as in finished
We aren’t talking about a future MRV deployment here we are talking about a humanitarian SAR mission that the NS conducted in the Med.... that DoD try to prevent from happening (after the Taoiseach had already announced that Ireland was going to send a ship to the EU and the media)
