Has anyone ever been recalled into the DF from the First Line Reserve?
The US equivalent is known as the IRR (Individual Ready Reserve) and depending on your enlistment contract and other choices you may or may not do 2 years in an IRR status. It is not unheard of to get recalled to Active Duty from the IRR...everybody knows that going in.
Has it ever happened in Ireland?
How about Officers? In the US, they may resign from Active/Reserve Duty but their commissions are transfered into IRR Commissions, and they are still liable to recall. It takes a specific act of resigning the IRR Commission (when eligible) to completely get off the recall list. IIRC they can still be recalled up to age 60 if they don't resign the IRR Commission.
Are Irish DF Officers subject to recall at anytime?
