If our colleague Catherine Callaghan cared she would have helped already.
She's happy to call for officer cadets pay rises, but like Berry, is utterly silent on the catastrophic health of many #IrishAirCorps colleagues, people she lived & worked with!
This article highlights the lack of empathy and downright disrespect successive governments have had for sick serving and retired Ahr Corps personnel. @PresidentIRL
10 years today since the 1st Protected Disclosure revealed #IrishAirCorps Toxic Chemical Exposure Scandal
Survivors are ignored or gaslit by successive (mostly) FG ministers who have done nothing to reduce suffering or reduce premature deaths.
53 further deaths now #115dead
Deeply worrying report on @RTE_PrimeTime on former Aer Corps personnel being exposed to dangerous chemicals, right up until recent times.
Shocking, but unfortunately, still no Government has acted on it, despite many premature deaths and serious illnesses
#TonightVMTV@MichealMartinTD@fiannafailparty
when in opposition he was outspoken and acknowledged the wrongdoing now that he is in government and in a very leading position is he going to stand by his position when in opposition or is he going to just be a hypocrite
#TonightVMTV
chemical exposure in the Irish Defence Forces—specifically within the Air Corps at Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel—is a long-running scandal involving allegations of systemic health and safety failures.
#TonightVMTV
Whistleblowers and survivors have long alleged that the "erosion" of safety standards didn't stop at the workshop door—it extended to the literal ground beneath the base.
#TonightVMTV
The scandal isn't just that PPE wasn't used; it's that it was explicitly requested and denied for decades.
The 1994 Memos: Documents surfaced during discovery showing that as far back as 1994, junior officers and technicians were sounding the alarm

There is a fundamental moral contract when someone steps up to serve their country: they offer their youth, their health, and potentially their life to protect the State, and in return, the State has an absolute duty to protect them from unnecessary harm.

heartbreaking accounts within the ACCAS (Air Corps Chemical Abuse Survivors) community regarding "teratogenic" effects—birth defects and chronic illnesses in the children of those exposed, suggesting the damage reached into the very DNA of the families.

Micheál Martin was outspoken years ago as leader of the opposition in 2017 Martin was highly critical of government's response. Martin stood in the Dáil used emotive language calling treatment of sick Air Corps technicians a horror story
Now 2026 hypocrite
