I remember this day. I wasn't at the ceremony because I was in school but I remember it being talked about at school. I think we felt we should have got a day off for it. I remember once I was leading a pony trek through the regional park when I took a wrong turn and almost lead the entire trek into the army barracks!

yes i agree.Me and my girlfriend were hunted out of Ballincollig because she had Aids and the guards escorted us out of the village making sure we left.She since passed away.
