A Galway company Composites Testing Laboratory does materials testing for Raytheon, Lockheed and Cessna.
CTL, headed by Dr.O Bradaigh, has a contract with BAE to test composite materials. BAE Systems "primes include Airbus, Boeing, Raytheon, Cessna and Lockheed."

Micheal O Martin said in the press release:' Under the terms of the agreement CTL will be the preferred testing laboratory for ALL composite material testing requirements for BAE'.
Are we to believe that the materials tested are never used in military aircraft?
Are the materials used for civilian aircraft different from the materials used for military aircraft?

Jump To Comment: 1The question is, will anyone from the Irish government be there to remove Ratheon explosives schrapnel from little kids dead bodies this Christmas, that the Brits will use on some defensless village.
I'm sure Michael Martin will accept, as should we all, the assurances that will be given just as soon as he asks for them under pressure from Dail colleagues whom may shed some skepticism on wether or not these parts to be tested are used for commercial planes only. or, as in the case of Rendition, we may rest assured when Bertie asks Bush 'to be sure , to be sure?'...and Bush, the God fearing Christian whom we all can trust says to (a)- him...shhuuuurrre.
