Very strange that there was no applause when An Taoiseach unveiled the memorial. Also why on earth did the chaplain wear a stole over his uniform. Even a protestant minister would wear a cassock and surplice.

Isn’t it a moment for somber reflection instead of celebratory applause? It’s like saying “happy Memorial Day!”

I feel like we should rename the position of Taoiseach its too hard to spell, Name it Tea sock

[@supermarkmoo]

I think the chaplain wore it because even though he's a military parishioner he's still a priest and a man of the cloth iv seen army chaplains wear a green camo one overseas

[@southafricandominion]

@@supermarkmoo what do you mean by parishioner? Priests aren’t parishioners, the laity are. The proper vestments for a Catholic or Anglican padre is cassock surplice stole/scarf not a stole over a no 1 uniform. And it’s purple stole for memorials/funerals not white!

​@@southafricandominionI might of mixed myself up with parishioner I thought it was another word for priest im not going to lie hahah
