Great to hear this report @UNPeacekeeping and to see @defenceforces @7_Inf_Bn on overseas operations.
Conflicts, old and new, leave in their trail unexploded devices that pose a threat to the lives of civilians and peacekeepers alike. At @UNDOF I had the chance to see the top notch equipment @defenceforces use to help detect and defuse these objects and protect lives. #A4P

This weekend we remember Seán Rooney as we mark one month since his passing. Our thoughts remain with his family, friends and all who were lucky enough to have known him. Seán a chara, tá tú inár gcroí go deo. "Peacekeeping is not a job for soldiers, but only soldiers can do it"

The Defence Forces is a tightly knit family drawn even closer together in the last few days and strengthened by the outpouring of grief from the wider public. It includes our families, friends and veterans. Sean, your duty is done a chara
A poignant moment as a retired member of the defence forces,who had waited patiently, walks to the roadside to salute his fallen comrade. He respectfully straightens his blue beret and green jacket before giving Private Séan Rooney his salute. #seanrooney #UNIFIL
