NUI MAYNOOTH MILITARY AVIATION in IRELAND 1921- 1945 By
L.O. 4-1 ^4- NUI MAYNOOTH QllftMll II hiJfiifin Ui Mu*« MILITARY AVIATION IN IRELAND 1921- 1945 By MICHAEL O’MALLEY THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH Supervisor of Research: Dr. Ian Speller JANUARY 2007 IRISH MILITARY AVIATION 1921 - 1945 This thesis initially sets out to examine the context of the purchase of two aircraft, on the authority of Michael Collins and funded by the second Dail, during the Treaty negotiations of 1921. The subsequent development of civil aviation policy including the regulation of civil aviation, the management of a civil aerodrome and the possible start of a state sponsored civil air service to Britain or elsewhere is also explained. Michael Collins’ leading role in the establishment of a small Military Air Service in 1922 and the role of that service in the early weeks of the Civil War are examined in detail. The modest expansion in the resources and role of the Air Service following Collins’ death is examined in the context of antipathy toward the ex-RAF pilots and the general indifference of the new Army leadership to military aviation. The survival of military aviation - the Army Air Corps - will be examined in the context of the parsimony of Finance, and the administrative traumas of demobilisation, the Anny mutiny and reorganisation processes of 1923/24. The manner in which the Army leadership exercised command over, and directed aviation policy and professional standards affecting career pilots is examined in the contexts of the contrasting preparations for war of the Army and the Government.

Commission on the Defence Forces Public Consultation Response Template
Commission on the Defence Forces Public Consultation Response Template Capabilities – In this regard, you may wish to consider future integrated capability development and the planning and delivery requirements to support a joint force approach in terms of new equipment, professional military education and training, maintenance and development of infrastructure, developments in military doctrine, and transformative concepts, including specialist capabilities, that prepare and support the Defence Forces for future operations. The Irish Air Corps has typically been equipped based on a “No change Basis” operational budget. Since I joined the Irish Air Corps in 1999 aircraft have been replaced effectively on a like for like basis in terms of numbers albeit in some instances with a capability change commensurate with developing aviation technology, Marchetti SF260 to Pilatus PC9, Cessna 172 to Pilatus PC12, Gazelle to EC135, Dauphin to AW139, Casa CN235 to Casa Cn295, Kingair 200 to Learjet 45, Squirrel to EC135. Where capability has taken a leap forward this has been as a direct result of innovative purchasing on the part of the IAC management in specifying aircraft with greater capability during the replacement program. In the same period IAC have retired the Gulfstream GIV and as a result the IAC/State has lost the capability to project itself across the globe at short notice. All aircraft within the fleet have historically multi tasked being purchased for one mission in mind but in practise being utilised to their maximum capability in a number or varied roles. For instance, Casa CN235 maritime patrol aircraft being used for – Air Ambulance, Parachute operations, ARW ops, Wildlife surgery’s, C2 aircraft, With that in mind lets examine the capabilities that should be replaced and enhanced over the coming years.

Luke Gilligan's Article About His Work Experience with the Air Corps
I got the surprise of my life when I came home to find a letter addressed to me from the Irish Air Corps. Naturally the first thing that came to my head was “What did I do to get in trouble with these guys?” On opening the letter, I discovered that my application to do work experience with the Air Corps had been successful. Of course, I was thrilled. Day 1- Approaching the gates of Baldonnel Airfield, I was terrified. Not in anticipation or anything but rather a patrol troop carrying loaded guns across their chests had just marched past me. The work experience was held in the Technical Training School (where they train the engineers) for the most part. There we got a safety brief and were introduced to the soldiers accompanying us for the week. We then received a full tour of the base. It was fascinating to see all of the different areas of the base such as the armoury, the messes, the barracks, the runways and everything else you could imagine you need for the smooth running of a military base. After this, we received our first proper look at all the aircraft. We saw everything from monstrous Casa planes to the cosier Eurocopter 135s. After this it was time for lunch and then we were shown a DVD of training drills you have to do while trying to pass your cadetship, and like that our first day was over. The Casa Day 2- Today started with a more in depth talk about the helicopters in the Air Corps and their role.
