Cork City Council held a civic reception earlier this week for Commodore Hugh Tully to celebrate the service he has provided to the state and his imminent retirement.
New FOCNS to be from wrong side of the base for the first time in the history of the NS.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Not really a bad thing having someone coming from the trades.
It's only recent years that the FOCNS even began their career in the Naval Sevice. I remember Cmdre Tully (rtd) as a Lt. Many years ago. In the next few years the FOCNS will be some one!I didn't serve with!!!Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Congrats to him on making history as the first Engineer to become FOCNS.

I never thought I'd see the day.
A fantastic coup for the wrong side of the base. A very able operator, will be interesting to see what mark he leaves on the service. I understand already some of his opinions are unpopular with the NS, and would not be popular amongst many here also. Time will tell.
I believe already the Exec branch are wondering who will still be about to replace him when he inevitably retires.
Does anyone else think he bears a strong resemblance to one of the mod team?For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

Is it NS to shower at least monthly,
No more saying aaaar and shiver me timbersThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Cmdre Malone is a graduate of the 25th cadet class from 1981 and interestingly is the only one of that class both Exec and Engineering branch still serving .
But he is not the officer with the highest service with at least two if not four exec branch officers senior in service still serving.. but one of them is a muppet!
i served with him on Eithne , where he was the understudy electrical officer, quite an approachable guy, I offer my best wishes to the new FOCNSCovid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

Proud of achievement of Major General Michael Beary who today was presented the Distinguished Service Medal by Minister Paul Kehoe.

Another general gets a DSM."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"
