  1. I suspect they probably have every cable rigged to blow up at this stage. We can take it that if a conflict breaks out between the EU and Russia the first we will know about it is when the internet goes down.

  2. Fair play to the Air Corp nice to see they’re finally able to do their job.

  3. This is why ireland desperately needs a fairly strong navy with air assets to protect its economic area and beyond.

    Things to worry about

    Narco trade

    Rogue Chinese fishing fleets

    Russian sabotage

  4. And people claim Russia isn’t a threat to Ireland. They damn well are!

  5. They’re just having a wee look-see it’s f-

    oh oops it’s been cut.

  6. I think the ardent neutrality folk are waiting for actual uniformed Russian troops to land in Achill or Bantry Bay before they wake up. Even then, it’s ” ah, shure I’m sure they will be very nice , and they’ll be away in no time “. There are none so blind as those who fail to see.

  7. Europe should inform russia that any damage to the underwater cables done by Russian vessels of any kind will be repaired by frozen Russian assets.

  8. Am I the only one hoping the internet goes down? 👀

  9. No more blaming the sharks for eating the internet if the connection goes kaput then.

  10. What a waste of concern.

    A ship stopped by a cable…..
    Who gives a fuck?

    NATO horseshit

  11. Seems as though they’ve been loitering around many cables throughout the world. Coinciding with our governments no internet test last week too (although I know this is practiced yearly or thereabouts. It just makes me wonder is something imminent

  12. NATO needs to be patrolling these areas and Ireland needs to have a better funded Navy via EU funds

  13. “What do we need a airforce for.. who will attack us”

    Hmmm..

    Great investment love my tax euros at work 

  14. ffs i just got 1gb fiber. nothing will make me want to join a war effort more than fecking with the internet

  15. Not the cables…! Won’t somebody think of the cables

  16. Maybe Ireland should stay neutral and we’d not ever have to worry about them, and tell the Americans to fuck off
