Defence Forces
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-17
============================================================

Matt Carthy (SF), Cavan-Monaghan

I want to put on the record of this House the universal sentiment of the Irish people that we are incredibly and rightfully proud of the men and women of the Irish Defence Forces who are serving with distinction in Lebanon as part of the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission. They are part of a long tradition of proud participation in UN peacekeeping missions by the Defence Forces. Will the Tánaiste give an update on the current situation facing our troops?
