I wonder if the whole joining the RDF thing was publicity stunt.She must have known well in advance that she was going to look to go down the MEP route and that if she got it her time in uniform would be short lived.
Curious."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

As I said she had no guarantee of making it. However I have yet to see a headline "Reservist and proud member of Defence Forces elected as Member of European Parliament" . RTE and several other news organizations had her queued up for interviews with her at the RDF 90th anniversary in Collins a few weeks back, so they know exactly who and what she is."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"

Not sure if it was RDF, DF, DoD, FG who selected her for interview but does it matter?
Diversity is good in an organisation and this was an excellent recruiting tool (as a former Rose of Tralee who represented Ireland in Irish communities worldwide, a female and a member of the LBGT community) she appeals to a wide demographic.
As far as I saw she didn’t mention work or potential work at all - and rightly so on the potential work side
Fair play to her

Yes of course. We are all interesting and diverse people ! . However my point is that none of the media who know damn well she is a reservist but are not reporting her as such"Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"
