    Uachtarán na hÉireann Michael D Higgins, accompanied by the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, Lieutenant General Conor O'Boyle, visited the 181 Defence Forces soldiers from the 47th Infantry Group in the Glen Of Imaal, Co Wicklow on Tuesday 21 October. The 47th Infantry Group were entering the final phase of intense training in preparation for their forthcoming deployment to the United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL). The 47th Infantry Group will deploy to Lebanon in early November, taking over duties from the 45th Infantry Group who have been deployed to UNIFIL since May 2014.

    "No, they're trying to fly the tank"

    "And is that where the put the knife for killing babies?"

    "No sir, that's a pen holder."
    I knew a simple soldier boy.....
    Who grinned at life in empty joy,
    Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
    And whistled early with the lark.

    In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
    With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
    He put a bullet through his brain.
    And no one spoke of him again.

    You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
    Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
    Sneak home and pray you'll never know
    The hell where youth and laughter go.

                The sniper needs something to aim at.
                For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
