The Irish Army parade before Ireland's President for life and display their latest weapon - the Sinead Launcher - lethal in confined spaces such as toilets and taxis.
This is hilarious! Every profession is ridiculed now and again, from bankers, politicians to gardai and taxi drivers, so why not soldiers? At the end of the day it is a JOKE! You would have to be a bit dim witted to think that if you make a joke then you can't also respect the military at the same time.
I agree with your sentiment that people shouldn't get pissed off at a joke, but I wonder if you realise how close to reality this is 😂 if you knew that you would also understand why some immature Irish ultra-patriots are upset by it; it's because it's a little too accurate 🤣 - your freindly neighbourhood English squaddie
When did Irish people actually start taking the Irish army so seriously, lighten up it’s a comedy show. I blame RTE for behaving like Ireland is the US or Britain, pumping up the pixies with delusions of grandeur.
@Leo D'Arcy you sound like a true veteran Leo. We thank you for your service and hope that the next generation of Irishmen shall not know the horrors of which you speak 🤣🤣
But it's a cultural issue in Ireland where we don't want any money spent on the army, air force (non existent) or navy (we are an island) and amongst developed countries we must be the weakest out there. Why is this? We always have the sore thumb of Northern Ireland where violence is very possible in the future so we have as much of a need for an army as Norway or Denmark have yet they are much much stronger than ours. For the limited resources we have , we have a decent army but it needs a bit more resources and money spent. They are a well trained infantry force and I respect them as an Irish person but I am embarrassed for Irish society that we don't care enough about having a bit better resourced defence forces. hundreds of years of oppressive foreign oppression taught us anything? It's important to have the means to defend yourself.
***** What function does any nations army serve? What function does the army of Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Belgium etc serve? We only spend half or less of what Norway spends despite having the same population. One issue we do have in Northern Ireland and is a possible security concern in the lead up to catholics reaching parity with protestants there. It doesn't serve Ireland to have an under funded laughing stock of military.
Olly I wouldn't go as far as a laughing stock. What good would doubling the amount of everything we have do? We'd be paying billions in infrastructure alone. Simply replacing the late 70s Navy ships is costing us €250 million (Lovely new ships too I must say, by the looks of them). Baldonnel would need a runway extension of about a kilometre, we'd need to actually buy troop carriers (A400Ms cost $80 mill a piece, I think they'll bring about 100 troops). Currently we charter jets every few months for troop movements. I don't have massive knowledge of the army, but in Curragh Camp there isn't much space. They could be rehoused, still at a massive cost to the army. What difference would we notice? None really.
***** I am not advocating some kind of big expansion of the military but just a well funded as in an extra 20% increase in spending or 1% of gdp which is a kind of minimum standard that the weakest of counties go by. So they can have that extra weaponry and equipment and maybe the air force can have a squadron of f-16s so we can actually have an airforce. The navy is needed to protect against drug smuggling and indeed other illegal activities at sea that involve smuggling of all kinds as well as illegal fishing.
Olly Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the navy, but F-16s? What function would they serve? The PC-6s serve their purpose, the only advantage is speed. In the unlikely event someone decides to invade, it's within our neighbour's interests to make sure they cannot succeed. Even at that, it's highly unlikely we'll ever see an Irish war. The only other uses for actual jets is if a plane over Ireland is not responding to either radio or transponder is turned off. In that case we use the LJ45 or GIV. There's a reason we retired the jets in the 60s (De Havilland Moth).
What a lovely Celtic Army,Portugal would love to joint this Army.We are sick and tired of Nato.This is alot more brilliant, in fact.All the best to our Irish friends.
Irish Army peacekeeping mission which oversaw multiple masaccres and genocides. (Dutch Battalion which was supposed to protect UN's Protected Zone of Srebrenica and stood idly by while genocide in Srebrenica was commited sweat profusely)
You seem to be confused between Dutch and Irish, and you don't understand the verb "to oversee". Ireland has played small peace-keeping roles for a long time, not a bad record.
As a soldier of the Irish Defence Force (RDF) and as someone who has lost family overseas, this fking disgusts me. The Irish Army is one of the best trained and most respected peacekeeping forces in the world with one of the very best elite forces (ARW) in the world. To make a mockery of the one group of men and women that will come to your aid in a crisis is downright ignorant.
The fact that someone that is suppose to inform people for a living aka a journalist thinks we have no need for an army, wow this guy should be on the dole for the lack of vision. This also really highlights the need to leave the EU before these Irish culture hating west Brits destroy any self esteem we have left as a nation .
Very bad joke about the heros who died overseas.. and about the observers. This man doesnt know a thing about the irish army and what we do. And our contribution to the united nations. And how many men died during these missions
Thisdrinkinglife.com yeah comedy. Parts are funny bt nt bout the men and women who put there life on the line and died for peace. You wouldn't take the piss out of thr americans? And there wars are for money and oil bt people hail them as heros and wer nt even americans bt wen our very own men die its comedy. No sorry bt certain things shud nt be made fun of the army is a tuff job and is one of the hardest training in the world
It's not funny mocking our soldiers who do a great job peacekeeping around the world. Men have died wearing that uniform. My father was in the Congo in 1961 and it was very hostile and he saw combat. I was in the FCA and it was great for young fellas. You'd learn a bit of discipline, dress properly, fire weapons, marching, drills, etc. It gives you self respect and for others. To me to mock the uniform is a disgrace. You wouldn't do it in America you'd be lynched.
@flip inheck We have our own Navy, who are actually decent, but our 'Air Force' is crap and wouldn't stop the Russians invading our Air Space. The United Kingdom would help us out on event of invasion.
Sure lookit, being Irish basically means relentlessly mocking every single aspect of Irish life, the army is by no means exempt. You can be proud of something and still constantly make fun of it at the same time
@@ulsternationalist4109 the rest of these guys seem to hate you straight off the bat, while I just want to know how it actually takes your freedom?

The Irish army is a peacekeeping force that ARE combat trained. We have the Irish Army Rangers wing who are trained for spec ops and overt and covert missions. They also aid the gardaí in searching for terrorists, wanted people etc. They fight in Afghanistan, Iraq, anywhere where they are required. All Irish soldiers go through a strict training program and work closely with the usa as regarding overseas peacekeeping. Most are there for peacekeeping missions but all are trained to fight because terrorists, extremists etc. Are not going to leave us alone just because we are wearing a blue helmet. I think this discrimination against the Irish and its military is just downright wrong.
i had a cousin who was stationed in a barracks for most of his time, ended up resigning because he was "fading away".. but i have two uncles also in the army who like their job.
Wizz Freely the Irish Government pays 0.5% of the GDP on Defence. Which is minuscule to how other departments of state are wasting money. The Defence Forces are an essential part of security for the state, as well as an essential form of international security. At present there are 16 mission areas that 491 Irish Defence Forces personnel find themselves deployed in this weekend alone. They are ambassadors which promote our country and are good hard working men and women who place themselves in dangerous places and take pride in doing so. Hardly a waste of taxpayers money. Keep that in mind next time you make an ill informed and ignorant statement like you have just done.
My brother is in the army and he would be ashamed to watch this video.I am 12 and have more respect for my country then this man.The irish defence forces were at J.F.K's funeral and did the best routine with there rifels, the americans never saw anything so sharp before.The Irish do peace greetings all over the world.Many people have died over sea's to serve our country and i think you can respect them alot more by taking this video down.
From August 1988 until May 1991, Irish soldiers were deployed under the UN force UNIIMOG, on the border between Iraq and Iran to supervise the withdrawal of both sides' forces to within their respective borders after the end of the Iran-Iraq War. The Irish provided 177 of the 400 UNIIMOG personnel involved with the mission. The mission came to an end in 1991, when Iran and Iraq completed the withdrawal of their troops. A small number of Irish observers were also stationed in Kuwait from 1991 to 2002 as part of UNIKOM.
@@FannyShmellar Says who, you, did you were the uniform, my father gave 6 months in the Congo and had to fight in several different situations out there, you don't know what your talking about. Men did die in overseas missions in the UN.
72mossy I served 5 years in the Army, left in 2017. So yes, I do know what I’m talking about. There are some Sterling soldiers from the Republic of Ireland who I knew that served in the Royal Irish and Irish guards, but the fact remains the official stance of the Irish Army during ww2 was one of cowardice.
@@FannyShmellar @Someone Ah yes, Neutrality = Cowardice.... Eh no. But hey if you want to bring up WW2, let's talk about the fact that while technically neutral, Ireland favoured the allies over the axis. Germans shot down over Ireland were held in camps until the end of the war while allied pilots were sent over the border back to England, when the Germans bombed Belfast, fire services were sent from Dublin to assist in rescue efforts and, let's not forget, the fact that an Irish weather report delayed D-Day, therefore preventing it's possible failure along with other intelligence reports and reports of submarine movement near the coast of the island. Not to mention the 100,000 people who joined the British army or the civilians who died despite the country being neutral. And all this even with tensions between Ireland and England with the threat of another civil war breaking out if too much pro British sentiment was displayed But hey, if cowardice is what you want to believe, believe it all ye want, but for a neutral (there's that word again ye might want to look its definition up) nation I'd hardly say that Ireland sat back and did nothing even though they were well within their rights to.
RYAN MCelhinney Yes, Neutrality in a war like that is pure unadulterated cowardice. Right and wrong was clear as night and day, folk being gassed to death for the crime of being Jewish or gay. The Irish sat at home and closed the curtains, how pathetic. Yes, the ones with a sound moral compass joined the British Army and fought for what was right, but the official Irish stance was one of cowardice. Anybody staying neutral in a war like that were pure fannies, end of story. Embarrassing!
I've been looking 4 an episode were the irish tell story but after it's told to 1 person the second person puts there twist to it and it goes on and and on as each person tells there new version can any1 help me find it thanks
If you call this humor and it's the best Irish TV can offer it's no wonder Irish TV has only repeat's on also it's disrespectful to see our troops been made a laugh of would like to see that goof taking a stand against terrorism bet he would run a mile if told he had to serve his country
I could be completely wrong here but is the Sinead Launcher not in actual fact a very young Niamh Algar? To me it looks like her but like I said I could be wrong.

The Army has a proud tradition at home and overseas, and cheap so called "comedy" sketches won't change that. We hold our heads up because we can.
This video doesnt disgust me the army does. Its not fair when Dublin lads are working round the clock and all over the country doing there jobs, security, escorts, exercises, 24 hr duties while the rest of the barracks's are playing there playstations. The dirty bog warriors

Germans shot down over Ireland were held in camps until the end of the war while allied pilots were sent over the border back to England, when the Germans bombed Belfast, fire services were sent from Dublin to assist in rescue efforts and, let's not forget, the fact that an Irish weather report delayed D-Day, therefore preventing it's possible failure along with other intelligence reports and reports of submarine movement near the coast of the island. Not to mention the 100,000 people who joined the British army or the civilians who died despite the country being neutral.
And all this even with tensions between Ireland and England with the threat of another civil war breaking out if too much pro British sentiment was displayed
But hey, if cowardice is what you want to believe, believe it all ye want, but for a neutral (there's that word again ye might want to look its definition up) nation I'd hardly say that Ireland sat back and did nothing even though they were well within their rights to.
RYAN MCelhinney Yes, Neutrality in a war like that is pure unadulterated cowardice. Right and wrong was clear as night and day, folk being gassed to death for the crime of being Jewish or gay. The Irish sat at home and closed the curtains, how pathetic. Yes, the ones with a sound moral compass joined the British Army and fought for what was right, but the official Irish stance was one of cowardice. Anybody staying neutral in a war like that were pure fannies, end of story. Embarrassing!
I know that David McSavage's material is dated, but the FCA was disbanded in 2005!
renamed
@Leo D'Arcy And it's still called the LDF by some.

If you call this humor and it's the best Irish TV can offer it's no wonder Irish TV has only repeat's on also it's disrespectful to see our troops been made a laugh of would like to see that goof taking a stand against terrorism bet he would run a mile if told he had to serve his country
@@petersgoldenhits4744 When has the Irish army ever took a stand a against terrorism, they are a joke.
😂 genius
I could be completely wrong here but is the Sinead Launcher not in actual fact a very young Niamh Algar? To me it looks like her but like I said I could be wrong.
Do you want to reignite the trouble? Because this is how you reignite the troubles.
Laughing Achilles its a joke lighten up
1: How does this reignite the troubles
2: it's a fucking joke get over yourself
Yea this isnt how u reignite the troubles u will probs need a bomb or some shit like that but i dont think any1 would care cause a bomb is just another day in northern ireland

Ooft comedians run for the hills! And I thought ISIS had a stick up their arse?
Troubles? Yeah Let's murder another 4,000 people because of a joke. Typical of your ilk and their mindset! Eejit!
A bunch of journalists complaining about things they know nothing about once again
you could call Dave McSavage many things but you could never call him a journalist
More self/national deprecation from Mr Negative Pessimistic guy with his latently aggressive humor. Join up, why don't ya.
Because it is a joke. He has the right to make a joke. It doesn't land with everyone, but some of us actually find it funny
Joke
Did Spike Milligan write this ?lol
Ah yes
That's racist..
😂
Wonder what the song at the start is
lol
this is halirious hahaha I'm Irish and live this hhahaha
Where can I buy a Sinead launcher ?😂😂😂😂
I love how irish people are angry at this obvious joke. u think of Americans or Brits in the same situation and u don't see people ranting angrily at a joke in the comments. as an Irish person myself yes it is quite sad to hear your story but just get a laugh out of it, jesus
The irish have no sense of humour
@@greatone7314 Swear down, and if we do it's extremely wet humor, as soon as you try to make dark humor or make a not so obvious joke it gets all serious and shit, I've found so few that are actually capable of taking a joke whether it be in Dublin, Limerick, Cork where fucking ever, everyone's a butthurt little shite who laughs at knock knock jokes only.
@@NocFA Paddy likes to dish it but when it's back at them they go ballistic and wallow in self-pity. A childish people in essence.
@@greatone7314 The irish have no sense of humor? The lad making fun of Ireland in this video is Irish though.
@@MuayThai_Don Yes he is but the the majority of paddies have no sense of humour at all. Self-pity and Victimhood blocks their sense of humour and Intelligence of course.

The Sinead launcher 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 finished!!!!!!!!
Pretty rubbish if I'm being honest
And they don't have diabetes

John Drennan should know better, he probably should learn a few verses of the sash me father wore and join in on the orange parades on O' Connell St. thats the point of the Army. The Army has a proud tradition at home and overseas, and cheap so called "comedy" sketches won't change that. We hold our heads up because we can.
& tell me how did your parade die no Connell street go🤣😂😂😂
I wish is to be a irish soldier lol
Please, find a better career
@@resolutecub9977 it’s not a permanent job
Niamh Algar as Sinead!
Thats cold. Funny. But cold.
Fucking brilliant!!!
in case you were wondering this is fake
The Irish army? wtf is that.?
This video doesnt disgust me the army does. Its not fair when Dublin lads are working round the clock and all over the country doing there jobs, security, escorts, exercises, 24 hr duties while the rest of the barracks's are playing there playstations. The dirty bog warriors
