Sad day for Irish SAR with end of EIDW Sikorsky ops. S61 & S92 were workhorses w standing room working conditions & long legs to stay on station or head over the horizon. Coming from smaller Euro rescue helis they were revelations & joy to operate. Brings to mind lost comrades #R116 #GoMairidísBeo
How is this story buried so far down the RTE News app? Instead it concentrates on reporting on itself & its Eurovision boycott!
A malign actor tried to interfere with the approach of a Head of State who was under our protection & is not deemed a major story? 🤯 #Defence

This represents a serious attack against Ireland & our provision of protection to a visiting Head of State. This is rightly making international headlines & shows the poor state of Irish Defence as we prepare to take #EUPresidency This close call should finally shock Depts of Defence & Finance. 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦

Updated reports now saying FIVE heavy drones in the restricted airspace. Appears to be more than an attempt to cause embarrassment to Irish hosts, & Government needs to finally behave like Neutrality is NO form of Defence. Their implementation of Commission LOA2 is too slow. #Ireland #EUPresidency 🇪🇺

Last month, Europeans were stunned to learn that Washington and Moscow intended to profit from frozen Russian assets. Now, they’re reasserting their leverage with a bold reparations loan for Ukraine.
@jorgeliboreiro.bsky.social argues it's an act of defiance.

Long identified gaps in Ireland's Defence strategy & capabilities not being addressed with urgency. Even rotating EU Presidency in 2026 cannot force hands of Depts of Defence & Finance. Imagine if these drones got close, or worse still collided with President Zelenskyy's plane over Irish territory?!

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin jrnl.ie/6893104

Defence Forces stretched too far by having 3 shadow fleet tankers at same time as Zelenskyy VIP operation does not augur well for our EU Presidency abilities. There will be more than French frigates being requested to fill the gaps as Host nation that are rightly unacceptable to our guests. 🇪🇺🇮🇪
Spike in Russian shadow fleet activities during Zelenskiy visit

Four years Ukraine is fighting for the whole Europe.
NATO was built to fight only one war, not to go to Afghanistan, not to go to Syria. One war to save free Europe from Russian aggression.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Wow, this is revealing...
The plan says that "A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States." This implies that both Russia and the Trump administration don't see the US as part of NATO in any real sense. That should deeply alarm every other NATO state.

The Saudi Crown Prince had Khashoggi dismembered in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul.
Dismembered while still alive.
But Khashoggi gave his phone to his fiancee and went in with his Apple Watch recording.
His watch was connected to his phone.
It captured the gruesome audio of his brutal killing.
