This morning.
Two hundred nautical miles off Loop Head, County Clare
Via The Defence Forces:
While on a Maritime Security and Defence patrol off the west coast, a distress signal was received by the LÉ Róisín regarding an injured crew man onboard a Russian fishing vessel.
The casualty on the Russian fishing vessel was a 34 year old male with suspected fractures of the thigh and shoulder, head injury and shock.
….L.É. Róisín transferred its medical and deck team onboard the fishing vessel, who assisted in providing medical care and managing the transfer of the casualty to the Coast Guard helicopter.
In fairness.

that’s a fishing vessel? size of it!
Gerrout of our waters Russia
Fun but true. They should not be in our waters.
Is the limit for “Our” waters 200 or 300 miles?
12
then I guess them folks are in international waters and are doing nothing wrong,…, except being Russian and all
**double shotgun finger point at the EU**
And its not 12 by the way.
No, it is 12.
12 nautical miles from the coastline is Irish territorial water.
As far as the eye can see.
Everything the light touches, Simba…
Build that wall!
A sea wall, and we’ll make the sea people pay for it. And if some of the male sea people fall into the cement tough, the wall will just have to full of seaman ; )
These Cold War-style spy thrillers don’t write themselves.
All the same, it’s good that we could provide assistance to that poor man. My oul fella was a mariner and the fellowship is still really important.
+Heroes.

De ye think Putin might ask his mate in de White House to go easy on us then ? probably not -the rescue boys and girls are real hero’s though !!!
Hero’s what? Or perhaps it’s just the usual uneducated use of apostrophe #learnhowtouseapostrophes!!

No it was actually speed text use of apostrophes -may all yer troubles be small
bit choppy.
Putin is lurking all over Europe
There’s a euphemism in there somewhere…
Did he have a conc-ussian?
Fair play to the rescue crew.
they whould have sank that boat, russia is literally nazi germany
Speaking as a grammar nazi, anyone who says should have sank should be sunk.
The Russians have plenty of hardware in the North Atlantic, with a lot of it on
station, how is it, we had to come to the rescue, yet we can’t look after our own:
Incidently we need to put in a few radar units on some of our elevated mountain
sites to monitor martine traffic along our coasts, in particular the Atlantic.
