I didn't think the runway at Baldonnel would be long enough to take an A320.

Why would the Irish gov charter an aircraft this size to repatriate just 2 persons?

Plus medical, security, and diplomatic personnel.

Off season for numerous small Turkish airlines with planes sitting in hangars, getting two cycles from engines and aircraft would at least cover some if not all of their monthly lease agreement.

And it's less conspicuous as mentioned.

The aircraft originated in Beirut. The Defence Forces have 400 soldiers in the Lebanon as part of UNIFIL. This wasn't her.

I was speaking to a work colleague based in Dublin Airport on Tuesday and whilst i was speaking to him he mentioned a load of flag waving etc and then a large contingent of soldiers appeared through the gates, presumably from a tour of duty.

A condition of her repatriation should/could have been no contact with social media or any other media and a block on making moolah out of this by any means.

Just my feeling on the matter.

No if you read the comments properly you’d see that I said the soldiers weapons are brought with them on the aircraft.
They are brought to the airport under escort of the Garda and DF, loaded into the hold of the aircraft under armed supervision and the armed supervision stays there until the aircraft pushes back. The vehicles etc are mostly supplied by the UN/UNIFIL.

I absolutely do not want to see this fcuker on the late late show etc! "its awful ryan, they havent even given me my 4eva home for me wee angle" Those spineless rat politicians will fall over themselves throwing everything at her!

The government should contact those morons in montrose, who would interview a mop if they thought it would get viewers! Tubridy cant be far off the mop, with the bottom of the barrel guests they get in! Theyll be randomly picking people out of the audience as guests in the not too distant future, the way that "show" has been going...

The lunatics run the asylum here!

A question for the military experts here. If (as one poster has said) they needed an A320 to return all the weapons and equipment of the 114th battalion who have just returned, would they not have needed a similar sized aircraft to transport the stuff over when they deployed in May? What about weapons and equipment for the 115th battalion who are just deploying?


Published on Friday 25th October 2019

The 115th Infantry Battalion replaces the 114th Infantry Battalion which deployed to Lebanon in May 2019. In UNIFIL the Irish Battalion will provide robust patrolling support to the Lebanese Armed Forces and protection to the local population from their primary Headquarters location in UN Post 2-45. In addition, Irish personnel will occupy and secure two observation posts along the Blue Line.
The 115th Infantry Battalion will deploy to UNIFIL under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Robert Hurley.

She really shouldn't be allowed keep her child. She will pump her toxic ISIS ideology into it.

She is a traitor and should have her passport revoked. Even put it to a referendum. In the past treason was dealt with by hanging. Now you get treated like royalty.

Everyone on the plane stood up and cheered. They were all in on it. Piles of buggy’s in the airport.

This woman has cost us a serious amount of money. She should be put away for a lengthy sentence. I just can't figure the media and political obsession with her. If she was Liam rather than Lisa Smith and hadn't a child, one suspects no one would pay him the slightest attention, rot in hell would be the verdict.

She willingly joined a terrorist organisation that murdered tens if not hundreds of thousands of innocent people including children. Here we are accepting her back to this country and giving her air time on TV. Just think about that. What sort of half-witted idiots are we electing?

Just to 100% debunk this theory. I came home from Lebanon on Monday and landed in Dublin airport.

We dont rotate weapons in and out, they are handed over to the next lads.

Also, defence forces weapons have travelled in and out of civilian airports in the past.

Under what legislation? Remember ISIS isn’t listed as a prescribed organisation in law.
