Irish Defence Forces land in Libya: stranded Irish citizens are being rescued as we speak:

Irish Air Corps leaving Irish air space for Tripoli today

Carefully thought out Plan of Action is being implemented as we speak

        Having left Libyan airspace yesterday with no passengers on board, two Irish Army Air Corps aeroplanes have landed in Tripoli this lunctime. 
        As we speak, heavily armed Irish soldiers are in the process of getting the 40 Irish citizens stranded in the country out of there.
Soldiers' efforts proved futile as they were turned away with empty aircraft yesterday. However, they have returned this lunchtime. This time more heavily armed and in no mood for negotiations. Fighting has escalated in the North African Republic and the Irish Army are anxious to get Irish civilians out of there before dark.
