Did a guard of honour in 1990 for President Hillary when I was in the FCA. My father was in the Congo with the 34th Battalion.

Well done on this clip. I love the march Sarsfield's Men played by the Defence Forces Band. Very nice musical arrangement based on fritz Brase's original. Nice sedate tempo. Keep it up!.

Man for Man the Irish Army are a Match for any.They have excelled as Peacekeepers and that they can take pride in. Ireland has never sought to be an aggressive Nation,but should anyone think they can strike Ireland or it's people with impunity,I believe they will soon learn why every Army that can recruits Irishmen!

best peace keeping army in the world..

[@woffwoff9939]

peace never killed anyone ..... millions die in wars.... no medals will bring loved ones back... its just human madness to be aggressive and seeing war as a solution to everything ... .. one day humanity will be united in peace... hope you wont be too disappointed... god bless you..

[@woffwoff9939]

[@daveanderson3805]

Why? Because Ireland is neutral? That would mean that Switzerland, Sweden or Finland don't have a military capability Perhaps Ireland doesn't want to get dragged into other people's wars,unlike some other nations
