      For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

        A bit harsh on the poor honkey, I don't slag off the IRCG .... They are the first people I'd call if I was drowning!

                      So does the AC/Government need to talk with the UK everytime there's an overflight or could some sort of "standing arrangement" be made?

                          Diplomatic clearance is required

                            But could something be worked out that it wouldn't be needed to be asked each time? Instead just have a blanket one and leave it up to NI Fire Service to make the call whenever?

                              Would the same paper work be required for our Rescue Helicopters to respond north.?

                                Not 100% but either way diplomatic level authorisation is required
