Crabette,
You talk about how great the Irish were, providing LIMSAR with their S61 to cover for the AW-139. That's all fine and very brave, but remember that Lee went 'Live" as of April. As a reminder, in the summer it gets dark too! This means they have been providing LIMSAR for 6 months and I agree with them that enough is enough!
Especially bearing in mind that they are THE units to be called out first and expected to do the job safe and effective, in all weather. LIMSAR doesn't fit in this equision
