"The multiplicity of languages spoken by many of the foreign-born recruits provides the Defence Forces with major advantages, especially when on overseas missions as they can be used instead of civilian UN translators."

An important (but also very entertaining) children's book launches in Dublin on Tuesday. It tells the story of an opted out boy and it tells it sensitively and with humour. If you can go, go! jamesjoyce.ie/events/classro…

This is essential listening for every Irish citizen & voter ahead of the International Security Consultative Forum.
@BerryCathal breaks down the current Irish security conundrum into reasonable & moderate points.
No hype, no bluff, just straight facts.

“There’s nothing that provokes Vladimir Putin more than weakness”
Prescient interview indeed…
@GeraskoLarysa @LMiculet @defenceforces @GCraughwell
"Because we didn't want to, quote "provoke Vladimir Putin," By showing weakness we provoked Vladimir Putin...I was deeply disappointed in the United States of America when they (Ukraine) begged us for defensive weapons." I miss John McCain. He screamed to #ArmUkraineNow

The TÁNAISTE is expected to confirm that Ireland is seeking greater co-operation with NATO later today, while also questioning whether the country’s current security and neutrality arrangements are fit for purpose in 2023. jrnl.ie/6070479

Well done to Capt @chris_slattery @2Cisar on becoming the first member of @dfreserve to deploy operationally overseas with @defenceforces. In terms of Reserve purpose and utilisation, this is a milestone of incredible significance 🇮🇪
made it out to UNIFIL for a very very busy trip, I believe the first member of the RDF to officially do so . Go @2Cisar @dfreserve . This is the way forward !

Earlier I spoke with with @gavreilly , On the Record, on Newstalk FM.
I argue that Ireland’s military neutrality is largely a sham.
We are not neutral.
We never were neutral.
We need an honest conversation about this topic.

This is what failure looks like.
Only foreign troops & foreign aircraft on the front pages of 🇮🇪 newspapers during a major evacuation operation.
No legal or political impediment to participation. Just the consequences of chronic underinvestment in our own @defenceforces 🤦♂️
David Graham retweeted
Excellent, informative letter from the founding Ombudsman for the @defenceforces. “The IMG was so valuable: what has happened to the corporate memory since 2014?”
@IRLDeptDefence unilaterally disbanded the IMG in 2018, and refused to follow through on its recommendations. 1/

We must fix this ASAP.
