Sorry, I promised to revert on a point. I had said earlier ( and this is a blow by blow of a thread from 8 years ago as well ! ) that reservist's jobs were protected when called out.
The Defence Forces ( Temporary Provisions ) act No.2, 1940 had a provision to have your employment held onto if on permanent service. See http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1940/...057.html#sec57
The Act of 1954 ( The Defence Act, the one we all know and love ) , repealed this
So; we had employment protection legislation until 1954, and it was lost/done away with. Awesome.
I'd forgotten this; sorry for the factual error in the post above.
