It is located as far from anything operational in the Defence Forces it may as well be based in the Junior Ministers constituency office in Wexico. No windows of use so those who work there couldn't even see anything interesting happening outside if they wanted to.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

The Cosantoir needs clout to comment and air points of view on everyday military and military family matters. I always thought it was housed near D.Int, in days of yore at Parkgate. We seem to be good at making things homeless.Originally posted by na grohmiti View PostIt is located as far from anything operational in the Defence Forces it may as well be based in the Junior Ministers constituency office in Wexico.

When you look back thought the archives it was probably more so looking out than in. That void is now arguable filled by DF Review.
They can only publish the articles sent into them....
For at least 20 years or so, An Cosantoir has been part of PR Branch under office of COS.
I would say 1MIC and 1ACS would feel that they are operational units.

I don't think you can see anything from the offices except maybe the cars parked outside, and even then.....For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Their current location reminds me a lot of the quote from Hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy.
But the plans were on display…’
on display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.’
`That’s the display department.’
`With a torch.’
`Ah, well the lights had probably gone.’
`So had the stairs.’
`But look you found the notice didn’t you?’
`Yes,’ said Arthur, `yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of The Leopard“For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Move closer to the screen.
Look at any other online magazine, you have the option to zoom into articles and photos. Instead I see 2 pages filling the screen, I can't read it and I can't zoom in.
Thing is, their older format had it.Last edited by na grohmiti; 15 September 2020, 20:08.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
