A Canadian-made Twin Otter aircraft – a similar model to the Garda surveillance plane that came off the runway in a ‘minor’ incident at Casement AerodromeThe newly acquired Garda surveillance aircraft came off the runway while landing in poor weather on Thursday. The Canadian-made De Havilland Twin Otter entered service last year after the previous aircraft reached the end of its service life. The incident occurred while it was conducting training exercises from its base at Casement Aerodrome, the headquarters of the Irish Air Corps in Baldonnel, west Dublin. The aircraft is flown by two Air Corps personnel, with a team of specialist gardaí operating surveillance equipment in the aircraft’s rear. In previous years, the Garda aircraft has been used to monitor activity by organised crime groups and subversives, although its exact activities are a closely guarded secret.

The planned redevelopment of two derelict Victorian buildings bought by Dublin City Council seven years ago for social housing has been cancelled due to the “excessive cost” of the project, which has reached €1.7 million. The council bought the houses for €350,000 each, hoping to have them back in use the following year after renovation work. Combined with the purchase price this would put the overall cost of the project at €2.4 million or €1.2 million per social home. This cost was “excessive”, the council said, and meant “ value for money” in using the buildings for social housing could not be achieved. The Connaught Street houses are among more than 100 buildings, most of which are houses, listed on the council’s derelict sites register.

Time is against Denise O’Sullivan to be fit for Ireland’s second World Cup qualifier on Saturday, a testing trip to Netherlands.
