This afternoon.
Shannon Airport, County Clare.
Members of An Garda Siochana and Defence Forces take part in a ‘bilateral training exercise’ facilitated by Shannon Airport Authority.
The focus of the exercise is to examine “the response to a simulated major armed incident by local Gardaí, Garda operational and strategic command personnel, ERU (Emergency Response Unit), ASU (Regional Armed Support Unit) and the Garda Air Support Unit”.
The exercises include the Defence Forces ‘tri-service assets’ including Army perimeter security and EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), Naval Service and Air Corps assets and Shannon Airport Police personnel.
Gives them a day out.

this is the ‘we’ve run out of bread’ drill for when we get SERIOUS snow.
Prep for false flag terror event..
Are ALL terror attacks false flag attacks?
Not only that in Scouts they now have to play games of Capture The False Flag.
and than they mine data to meddle with elections..
Then they male smores!
I was about to say that “jusayinlike” might be Bodger’s nom de plume, but then it occurred to me that “Bodger’ is Bodger’s nom de plume.
Or is it?
FALSE FLEG ALERT!
1 in a row, I’d say your gas craic at the dinner table
Only when it’s done by white people. Only terrorism by brown people is real terrorism.
Where are the gardai and the army?
All I see is unmarked individuals armed to the teeth
Can we do anything properly like at least identification that they are not jihadists impersonating the armed forces and police
Clearly by studying the 3 low res jpegs available to you, you have gotten to the heart of the matter.
What’s the heart of the matter rotide?
That the Gardai and the Army wern’t there because David can’t see them in the three photos provided.
Typical Varruca has them clowning around playing war games instead of preparing for Brexit
This is pretty serious
Imagine if you were on the ground in a real attack and the defence forces appeared wearing that gear
Are you serious
If you are you are a right plonker
Look around the world SWAT teams seals anti terror all clearly marked and for a reason
But here if this is what we do well god help us
Nigel I agree with you on this one
David. David. Calm down. Breathe, Look around you. Count to ten. Now backwards. Now consider. Think. Is it possible, nay, is it likely to a high degree of probability, that the armed individuals in the photos above depicting a training exercise of a simulated terrorist attack, with their lack of identifying markers, might, just might, be the people playing the terrorists in said simulation? Just a thought! Just a thought! Carry on. As you were.
Nigel are you suggesting that the long blade carried by the unidentified individual in the second picture isn’t standard garda equipment?
I thought the Guards only carried swords forged from Valyrian steel?
If they released photos of what identified themselves as “not jihadists impersonating the armed forces and police” would the future jihadists impersonating the armed forces and police not just wear it in the future making it more difficult to tell whether they were actual jihadists impersonating the armed forces and police?
Also, why do they have to be jihadists? Could they not just be old fashioned baddies?
The gardaí and the army are out of shot, giving out iodine tablets to nervous flyers.
They were the terrorists. Gardaí and Army “called in” after these lads (and at least one lassie) took over.
Dude, thinking prior to posting. We’ve talked about this. One day, you might actually have a point, and it’ll be all lost in your pathological need to mash the buttons on your, what’s now beginning to be clear, really bad phone.
…lucky they all have their white bits showing or the Yanks would have shot first…
The Airport ‘police’ got to play alongside real policemen. Must have been fun for them.
Jumping Joeys
Second picture looks like manic mailman
♫ Just another manic mailman……♫ Ah The Bangles, where are they now?
Adventure scouts!
The inability of the present administration to distinguish between legitimate mission readiness exercises and photocalls is deeply troubling.
I struggle to see the rationale behind making these exercises a media event.
Boggers mad to get guns, so they can show townies who’s the man.
