The Defence Forces Press Office can confirm that two personnel sustained injuries on landing during routine parachute display team training today in the Defence Forces Training Centre.

Improved pension arrangements for members of Óglaigh na hÉireann and An Garda Síochána could assist with retention.

Lovely to see Senator Diarmuid Wilson and his proud head welcoming his son Patrick home from proudly representing us all Óglaigh na hÉireann

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

What a welcome home for the troops of the 68th Infantry Group UNDOF!☘️

Sinn Féin Matt Carthy TD Seriously? You opposed the deployment of the Óglaigh na hÉireann to Syria. #Charlatans twitter.com/gavreilly/stat…

In October, the families of the 68th Infantry Group had to say goodbye to their loved ones as they departed to Syria. Six months later, this afternoon was a happy occasion at Dublin Airport as they got to welcome them back!!

This is the last time that Defence Forces personnel…

Interesting that Canada is planning the appropriate defence arrangements for a sea route that is still barely navigable. Meanwhile on the balmy shores of the Eastern Atlantic..

To all the family and friends travelling to Dublin Airport to welcome home personnel from Syria, the flight is on time and we are hoping to welcome them into the arrivals hall at 1400hrs

Looking forward to seeing you all there and giving them the welcome they deserve! 🇮🇪

listening to Late Debate last night and the minuscule piece on Óglaigh na hÉireann. Very poorly researched by Colm Ó Mongáin and the level of deflection and bluffing by Damien English TD on current state of DF. DF Budget is lowest in Europe. Needs to immediate increased to 1% of GDP

Thank you to The First Infantry Battalion, who raised €4,070 for our Hospice care!

The Battalion based at Renmore Barracks ran 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours from the 26th-28th of March, to show their appreciation of the hard work of Galway Hospice staff. 💚

Óglaigh na hÉireann

Senator G Craughwell Óglaigh na hÉireann Department of Defence For the last decade Department of Defence has been running the Óglaigh na hÉireann unfortunately that is the problem, Ministers been poorly advised by Senior Civil Servant's with no Military background, tunnel vision and certainly have absolutely no intention in solving this crisis

Best of luck to #32 🇮🇪 Óglaigh na hÉireann
