More than 300 military and police officers from Ireland are #ServingForPeace in four @UNPeacekeeping missions around the world — leaving their families behind to protect the most vulnerable.
We thank these brave women and men for their service and sacrifice.

Congratulations to the 181 members of the Irish Defence Forces who received academic awards at South East Technological University’s annual conferring ceremony in Carlow on 27th of October.
This achievement reflects the dedication, commitment and determination of our personnel in balancing academic study with their professional careers.
The long-standing partnership between SETU and the Defence Forces continues to support lifelong learning, professional development and the knowledge and skills needed to meet Ireland’s evolving defence and security challenges.

After all the hysteria of last week regarding reforming the triple lock, it's good to get a clear, concise, and accurate view on what's involved from @BerryCathal on todays @morningireland
It's well worth a listen.

There's people on this platform making cynical and obviously false claims about the triple lock.
It gives cover for creeps to post shit like this

No thanks. When it comes to decisions regarding the overseas deployment of our Defence Forces, I'd prefer if they are made by government, ratified by the Dáil, without recourse to foreign governments or organisations.

This is a good explanation of the triple lock. I think it should go as it’s ridiculous to have our sovereign decisions second guessed by China, Russia, USA. It is bizarre to believe that any Irish government would lightly send Irish troops on overseas missions. All governments are averse to risking the lives of their military.

There is a misconception in the opposition at the heart of the triple lock debate.
We currently require a UN mandate even to send ONE troop abroad for peacekeeping.
The 12 figure quoted by the opposition refers to the threshold for Dáil approval.
This is part of the reason why reform is needed.
