The White paper did recommend a name change for the Naval Reserve only.
5.6.2
...The Naval Service, in conjunction with the Director of Reserve Forces, will bring forward specific proposals to develop an integration role for the reorganised Slua Muirí. When this new role has been defined it would then be appropriate for the organisation to be
renamed the Naval Service Reserve (Cúltaca an tSeirbhís Chabhlaigh).

And before you suggest it carrington, Ireland already has a coast guard and lets say they have enough to do already.It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
It was a new age...It was the end of history.
It was the year everything changed.

Originally posted by carrington View PostI think there is a strong case to be made for a rebalancing of the Defence Forces between the Army, Naval Service (Navy), and Air Corps (Air Force), and as a consequence, the CoS position should rotate between the services. But is that another issue, or is the current dominance of the Army related to keeping the names of the Naval Service and the Air Corps?
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

Naval service it is..branch of the army that takes it commands from the Chief Of Staff.
You would have to build a new rank structure to put it on par with the Army if it was to be seperated and whats the point in creating aLT.General equivalent for a force of 1000 men and eight ships which is techincally only a flottilla..and admirals don't command flotillas
Naval service commanded by a commodore it is..get over it!Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safe

In the medium to long-term, it would seem that following the permanent end to the 'Troubles', many of the ATCP tasks carried out by the Army could be reviewed and the size of the force reduced. The contributions of the naval and air components of the Defence Forces should be increased. A command structure could then be created whereby each of the three services was headed by an officer of Major-General or Rear-Admiral rank, reporting to an overall Chief of the Defence Forces who would hold Lieutenant-General or equivalent rank, the post to rotate among the services.
