The serviceability of the entirety of Naval Service ordnance being contingent on one man is bananas.
Looks like they’re eventually just going to rehire the same people who used to work there and actually pay them a proper wage as contractors
What are our maritime threats? Drugs? Errant fishermen? The kraken?
Irish Naval Doctrine circa 2025
It doesn’t matter, Russia couldn’t invade Ireland even if they wanted to.
As long as we still have the kite, things will be okay.
This would be considered a national disgrace and humiliation in other countries.
Just pay a decent living wage or more ffs. Disgraceful that the defence forces are in such a state.
Were they planning on shooting someone?
Anyone know what % of GDP we spend on defense, Nato requires 2%, I feel we should at least be trying to get close to 1%. Were one of the most defenseless developed country in the world.
Have as many ships and guns as you like but the main problem for Navy’s and all armed services in a modern democracy is personnel. Modern education puts no emphasis on the concept of heroism during war to protect freedom. It almost denigrates people who are patriotic and makes the idea of joining the military and putting your life at risk as somehow stupid.
Our defence forces are an international embarrassment.
Quite an embarrassment our top of the line OPV is going to sea without its main armaments because we can’t correctly pay our service members and with accompanying “ah sure be grand we don’t use the main gun anyway” attitude
The sooner we decommission our military the better. Biggest joke and waste of taxpayers money ever.
