On the centenary of the barrack handovers in 2022, Collins Bks ICW Cork City Council have commissioned Gareth Joyce to produce a piece to acknowledge 100 years’ service by the men and women of Cork. Comdt Jean Fitzgerald was on-site to supervise the installation!

🇮🇪 must properly resource its National Security Analysis Centre (NSAC) to provide early warning of geo-political shocks & guide contingency planning.

Forewarned is forearmed…

@finnymc09 @RACO_DF @defenceforces @1Bde_Official @DF_COS @DFPRB @DF_ACOS @MichealMartinTD @BrendanRMcG @BerryCathal Thanks so much Finola. A bitter sweet decision. Will miss the Defence Forces a lot. It has given me so much; life long friends, worldwide travel and truly unique experiences. But family comes first 🥰

At our National Executive meeting in Cork yesterday, we marked the imminent retirement of our NE member Comdt Aileen Keating, after 21 years exemplary service to @defenceforces. Aileen was a driving forces behind the recently established Defence Org Women’s Network. Beir Bua! 🇮🇪

Defence Forces units train with NATO and EU partners but retention concerns continue (via @thejournal_ie) https://t.co/3qFpri6wml

[RACO @RACO_DF]

Great to see the progress of these future leaders. Of course none of this would be possible without their instructors, who remain overworked and under supported by government. How long more will their loyalty be exploited? #WTD #MoreWithLess

@RACO_DF has been asking @IRLDeptDefence for simple improvements to this complex and divisive scheme since its launch in Jan ‘21. While this is a positive small step, the only thing that will retain highly qualified @naval_service personnel is a fair rate of patrol duty allowance
