- Kilkenny Ireland Army parade. These soldiers were going to Lebanon
for peace keeping duties. Video was taken 03 May 2016 outside
Kilkenny Castle.
I think they were from the 3rd Infantry Battalion
On the ball!!! Loved going to Mass every Sunday at Tibnin in Lebanon. Hello from Fiji!
On the ball Henry!☘Irishbatt
On the BIIG Fiji ball!! Summer 1980
@@snipper1ie I got there somewhat late: Sep 1983- Aug 1984, Jul 1987- Jun 1988 and Oct 1997- Nov 1998. Good old days of military service whereby we were afforded overseas tours of duty.
@@henrygrey346 I remember many happy times playing 'murder rugby' in the surf with yourselves and you always raided the orange groves to send us back with bags or oranges. Happy times. A friend who served with me then, in later years, was working in London. He went to a rugby match where Fiji were playing. He shouted ON THE BALL FIJI BATT and all Fijians within earshot turned around and shouted ON THE BALL IRISH. We were ordered to stop saying ON THE BALL.
@@snipper1ie I remember some suggestions that the Irish were "white Fijians" and the Fijians were "black Irishmen" because of the similarities in temperament! But undoubtedly, we were always happy to mingle with you IrIsh folks because you just "clicked" with us and vice versa. Bless you folks. You're good company.
with great love to the Irish people, from India 🇮🇳
looking great. Well done Defence Forces. Well done.
No lo Fred
Just brilliant great lads
Very smart turnout in KK. Compare with Irish 114 infantry Battalion March Through Donegal. Reminded me of FCA recruit camp in the 80's. ''Keep in step. Kick your heel''.Glad they got it together in the end.
The theme to Monty Python's Flying Circus 😂
No. Garryowen, I think. Monty Python was John Philip Sousa's Liberty Bell.
Our blood is Irish family 🍀💚
The band should be using bagpipes or uilleann pipes.
Nonetheless, brilliant from them all. You've made Ireland proud
Bagpipes are Scottish, Uíleann pipes are more of a civilian thing unattached to the military. Most countries keep military and civilian traditions seperate. For example, It's why you don't see the German Army wearing Lederhosen
Nice job ireland!
why are some of the them wearing different coloured hats in the last group ?
I think some of them are from different units or regiments
Berets, dear. Berets. Probably because they ran out of navy blue.
The red berets are military police, the green hats are glengarrys worn by the cavalry and the black berets are the standard berets for everyone else.
Name of drill song? Anyone?
Garryowen
What did they do in Lebanon? what type of mission.
peace keeping
@@david14116 So no combat.. just observation.
@@Rbenson1979 I was told peace keeping
@@david14116 thats just watching and reporting things to the UN. Binoculars work.
Know a bit about that would you, got on a plane and left your family for six months and worked in a hostile environment , armed in the airport until you hand back your rifle when you're returning home, shit flying in all directions......?
Glad to hear you served, your so brave 😘
I would of liked to see what would of happened if the Irish army invaded Northerm Ireland 🇬🇧 in 1969.. History may be diffrent..
There would have been a lot of dead and wounded Irish Defence Force personnel. You cannot measure the experience and skill of the RoI's troop against the significantly more experienced British Army. In addition, the British Army would have air support - RoI does not have any offensive air assets (defence of RoI airspace is provided by the RAF through QRA assets when required).
@@briangoulden6687 all true , but the last time each side fought each other the Irish won
@@brianjkavanagh Perhaps you can enlighten me wit the details?

Compared to others, wtf is this, sant Patrick parade. LoL , army with nothing to show.
Irish Guards better innit?
@Aviation_ *Yes
Leave the bands and marching to a real army!
They look like they could win a bar fight......barely
Well they certainly beat the Brits in the Irish War of Independence anyway. Brits must be hopeless at bar fights so. Couldn't win one even...... barely!
@@Patmofar well factually wrong as they did not exist when Britain left but nice try at rewriting history 😂😂
@@hanshanson9932 Here's a link to a video that I am sure you will find interesting. - th-cam.com/video/itU6dp5tlAc/w-d-xo.html
Here is a list of books so that you can educate yourself. - Bowen, Tom, “The Irish Underground and the War of Independence 1919-21” - Hopkinson, Michael, The Irish War of Independence - Leeson, David, The Black and Tans: British Police and Auxiliaries in the Irish War of Independence, 1920-1921 - Lowe, W.J., “Who Were the Black-and-Tans” - Duggan, John, A History of the Irish Army - Townshend, Charles, The Republic: The Fight for Irish Independence 1918-1923
Rewriting history??? It seems that I actually have read some history unlike you with your childish emojis. And one last interesting fact for you. Independence from the tyranny of the British is the most commonly celebrated type of national holiday in the world.
@@Patmofar wow did your mother find that for you 🙄🙄
Think you need to re-educate yourself as to who fought for independence as until you gained it you had no army 😂😂😂
@@hanshanson9932 Seeming as you are too thick or ill-educated to understand the link and list of history books I posted for you here is one more that shows your ignorance. A few lessons in English grammar and punctuation would no go amiss on you either. Army en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Army
