the RAF C-130J of the 20th/21st June - was that visiting due to the G8, or was it acting in support of the joint Irish/UK military training mission in Mali?

cheers.

Nothing to do with Mali mission.

It's believed to have brought in a medical team with an organ donation for a Dublin hospital patient.
