UNIFIL Ministerial Review 124th Inf Bn

Watch the Ministerial Review of the 124 Inf Bn prior to deployment to UNIFIL.
An Tánaiste and Minister for Defence, Mr Micheál Martin T.D., accompanied by the Chief of Staff Séan Clancy, in reviewing the men and women of the 124 Bn prior to their departure.
An excellent display of professionalism from Lt Col Tom Fox's Battalion.
We wish them a safe trip and look forward to their return!

Wish we had a real cyber defense force, instead of three guys in an office with their feet up, to defend our people and national interests from online attacks, foreign state-backed hackers, and other nefarious agents bent on causing chaos and harm to public and state services. Wish we had a real navy to defend Irish territorial and commercial waters from incursions by hostile foreign navies, and opportunist foreign fishing vessels illegally fishing in Irish waters. Wish we had a real army to defend the country's border from foreign invaders, whether those invaders pretend to be "asylum seekers" fleeing British 'Rwanda Plan' or otherwise. Wish we had a real air force to patrol our skies. If wishes were fishes. But we don't.

Very strange robotic saluting by officers.
