Congratulations to Brendan, it was a wonderful occasion and the hospitality of the Defence Forces was marvellous.

[Óglaigh na hÉireann @defenceforces]

Last week, a ceremony was held at the Defence Forces Training Centre, The Curragh Camp, to mark the stand down of General Officer Commanding DFTC, Brigadier General McGuinness.

Brig Gen McGuinness joined Óglaigh na hÉireann in December 1982 as a member of the 59th Cadet Class at the Curragh Camp, Co. Kildare. He was commissioned in April 1984 as a Second Lieutenant to the 29 Infantry Battalion in Co. Monaghan.

Throughout a distinguished career spanning more than four decades, Brig Gen McGuinness held a number of key appointments including Aide-de-Camp to Chief of Staff Lt Gen Dermot Early, Officer Commanding 7 Infantry Battalion in Dublin, Commandant of the Military College, and most recently General Officer Commanding of the Defence Forces Training Centre.

He also served with distinction on several overseas missions including with UNIFIL in Lebanon, the OSCE in Bosnia, UNTSO in Lebanon, KFOR in Kosovo, and EUFOR in Bosnia.

Brig Gen McGuinness holds a Bachelor of Arts from University College Galway and later completed a Master’s in Business and Executive Coaching. He played a leading role in developing and advancing the Defence Forces coaching and mentoring programme, supporting the professional development of personnel across the organisation.

Outside of his military duties, Brig Gen McGuinness has been a strong supporter of Defence Forces sport, particularly basketball, where his enthusiasm and professionalism greatly benefited Defence Forces Basketball.

Last week’s ceremony provided an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding service and contribution of Brig Gen McGuinness to Óglaigh na hÉireann.
