- Over 400 members of the Irish Defence Forces paraded through Letterkenny today. 3 May 2019
It was a wonderful spectacle and there were big crowds out on the streets of the town to witness the historic parade.
The event took place ahead of the army personnel's deployment to Lebannon.
It all got underway on Friday morning when they were officially reviewed at the grounds of St. Eunan's College by the Minister with Responsibility for Defence Paul Kehoe and Defence Forces Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Mark Mellett DSM.
The parade left St. Eunan's College and made its way down High Road and through the centre of the town to the Community Centre on Pearse Road.

That marching reminds me of day 1 at FCA recruit camp back in the 80's.
My dad was in the Lebanon in the late 70s and 80s. Please if there is someone out there who's dad done the same please let me know... I am very proud of what my dad and his military family done for my freedom. Please get in touch.
My father was in Lebanon when I was a kid.
My grandfathers cousin was the only Irish soldier to who’s body was never found, Kevin Joyce was his name, he died along with one other over in the Leb at that time and served with 1st infantry battalion
sorry to hear that fella. Will find out what I can. Sorry brother can you tell me anything else about your grandad?

I don't like the Irish military, I went to join them in 2005, was told my services would be best suited for the British army and not the Irish because I wanted to be an army ranger special forces after a few years.. instead I become a mechanical engineer with the british army and went to war 3 times and had to pick my friends up off the ground in pieces and put them into bags.. I was bomb disposal.. first in to defuse an IED, not everyone got lucky, some where traps, and one day my suit was acting up so Andre went In ahead of me and I followed not long after only to be hit by parts of him after the IED exploded. My daughter asks me about the wars, I can't tell her. It would scar her for life.. so my respect for what I did for freedom is nowhere because telling anybody of what happened is not freedom, it's hell.. killing people, kids, men, women.. I look at my daughter sometimes and it makes me think of the things I had to do.. so I don't like the Irish military Because I should have served them instead of serving in hell.. that's what I always say when people ask me about the wars..
Dreadful drilling. Some soldiers do not even know the basics and the marching was out of synchronisation.
Jesus I was shocked to see how unorganized the were marching
Isn't it time for your tea bruv?
Noticed that myself 🙄😁
And their leaders had them holding their rifle with the left arm the entire parade. That is RSM incompetence that would never, ever be tolerated in the British Army.
@@Rbenson1979 what?? That doesnt have anything to do with the video
They don't even get paid the minimum wage, and the Minister of Defence warns soldiers not to complain about their wages. They need new equipment badly, yet they get 0.3% of the Republic's GDP. Sad.
Too busy subsidising homosexual events and baby burning
I find it funny
@@ulsterinfidel9897 Why?
@@David-lu4gq how terrible it is that they only get paid minimum wage and that they can’t complain.
@@seancunningham1361 I am more likely to join the British reserves or the Foreign Legion than the IDF. Won't bother with that nonsense.
It’s all about our Flag .....☝️🟩⬜️🟧⭐️
God, Subway is everywhere!
I no LOLLLLLL
That marching is shocking
I was thinking that to and I'm ex army
@@grimreaper1149 i cant tell i know nothing about marching i will take your word for it
I am so proud to be irish.
🇮🇪☘
So you are proud of an unelected homosexual flooding Ireland with migrant invaders and pushing degenerate filth on Irish children?
Yeah same lol
Great to see our boys marching but lads you have a flippin band to help you keep in step . That’s certainly helped me in my day . Lol.
Ethnic Irish people probably carry more Steyr AUG's than any other rifle, seeing as both Australia and Ireland use them as standard rifles
Love Ireland 🇨🇮 from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Is the arm swing supposed to look like a wave?
They do a Great Service to our Country ,fair play to them.
Our defense deserves better, our troops are well trained and under funded, the state seems to not need a Defence Force thats what i see from the historical perspective because i wonder what would happen if the defence force was properly funded and with the equipment that it needs to professionally run the forces.
The government should not be afraid to have a better force for the people and the Nation.
As long as the Royal Navy and NATO maintain navel supremacy, Ireland does not need a defence force. Of course, everyone else will continue to look upon them as parasites...
It’s a hard job, isn’t it this left foot, right foot business?
Tick Tock Tick Tock... The clock is out of sync
The greatest army in Donegal!
Charlie Bridges the only army in donegal

What was the first march please?
Eagle Squadron - British composer Kenneth J. Alford wrote a march, "Eagle Squadron", in honour of the pilots of the Eagle Squadron. The Eagle Squadron were 3 fighter squadrons of the Royal Air Force formed during World War II with volunteer pilots from the USA. They also lost their nationality and had is restored sometime later. Rather like many Irishmen who fought in the British Army during WW2.

SHOULDER HEIGHT TO THE MAN IN FRONT!! Hahaha good times
Leg parallel to the ground !!!
So is the AUG the official arm of the Irish Military?
@Cult Of Malgus
The Steyr AUG has been the standard issue weapon of the Irish Defence Forces since 1989.
An enhanced rifle fitted with an ACOG 4x32 optical sight starting to enter service in late 2014. This is known as the Model 14 or MOD 14.
It’s fitting too, the AUG is a dogshit weapon just like the Irish Defense Forces.
@@pewdiepieisgay7345 who
@@pewdiepieisgay7345 how is the steyr a bad weapon?
@@pewdiepieisgay7345 actually the styer Aug is one of the top ten assault rifles out there and the Irish army aren't dog shit, your probably a snowflake that got rejected into the army
I don't know its got that father Ted feeling to it..17:32 does that guy know how to hold a rifle properly?
Good to see them out and about. But what in the sweet jesus was that marching.
Why are they wearing their field dress insetad of their nice dark green service dress uniforms?
If you look at Irish weather then you'll understand why
I wouldn't worry about the marching that'll be the last thing on the lads minds once deployed.A lot of lads from the republic in the irish guards and many other british regiments.Ireland(Part of the UK then) had many great fighting regiments in its counties i love the song about the Connought Rangers 😊.Sad what happened to veterans returning home one who won the VC had his windows smashed regularly called a traitor etc he died a reclusive alcoholic.His son left ireland for england never to return. His father was on a midget submarine sinking japanese ships thats what he won the VC for very sad story if anyone comes across it.
Wish we had a March like other countries do
best wishes from the UK
You do, exact same drill as the brits
ah letterkenny just over the border eh
Why do Ireland have an army, when they never get involved in any military campaign, including "world" war 2 ?
Just incase any problems occur
@@mariokartmusic2536
Like WW2. 🙄
Them boiz are marching out of sync lol ☘☘
New title :Irish defence forces do mexican wave
Oh my gosh, badly out of step. Hurts to watch. I'm not fond of pointing this out.
Who's the guy in the caubeen with the camera at 20.02? He looks like he's British army.
shit... they all look like their the queens army
I think ill hang on to my AR's , maybe buy more ammo lol
He's the British army attache based in Dublin. We're all friends now...apparently.
@Finnian Gillespie if hes from Northern Ireland and serving in the Royal Irish Regiment in the British Army then how is he a traitor and too whom?
@@adammagill930 he shouldn’t be on Irish soil u fucking idiot
15:26 gwann baiis
All Irish. How keen are they about the plan for 1,000,000 immigrants for Ireland?
Lol
Irish army is not
Not too keen on Irish people SLAGGING off their own lads here.EVEN worse, some clowns DARE to slag off the British Army...FAMED AROUND THE ENTIRE EARTH as a BASTION of military expertise.If THESE Irish lads HAD been trained by the British then the rather slack (it saddens me to say) "marching" would be of a standard you could SHAVE WITH!. see ANY "trooping Of The Colour" video here on Y.T. to confirm this!. The Irish lads have NEVER lacked BALLS, the fact that the bravest of the brave (Victoria Cross holders)have MANY Irish among their ranks prooves that.I do wonder about how they are trained and led though.Although politically impossible, given this Regiments reputation in Ulster, i think Irish soldiers, trained up by the British Parachute Regiment would be a force to be reckoned with. As it is, the whole ethos of the ROI forces is "defensive"..."peace Keeping". Although a laudible aim i feel the lads of the Republic should be far more PRO ACTIVE.Too many small countries feel they will never be subject to attack or that they can rely on OTHERS to defend them. That is a very dangerous gamble.
Fuck the british army
Give me Royal irish and the Irish guards over the paras any day.
Steve Radford. in my 21 years in the Irish DF's i served with a few ex Brits, some foreign legion & a guy from the Rhodesian light infantry, I've also served alongside many other nationalities & I can assure you that Irish training is as professional as any, "IF" you knew wtf you were talking about, you'd realise this was done on a grass pitch, therefore the troops can't hear their fall of foot. A body of troops marching rely on their fall of foot for their timing, of course only another soldier would understand that after countless hours "square-bashing" (Not grass bashing) which leads me to the conclusion that you never served.
The 1921 treaty forced on Ireland by the British actually stipulates the size & function of the Irish Army (you can google & read for yourself) This was an act of fear by your Mr Churchill and something the Irish have honoured to this day, you weren't a soldier & you are no historian, get a clue mate!
The marching a disgrace there berets are not even wore properly and half of them are over weight.the American marines would not tolerate this lack of disaplene.is digraceful are these guys actually full time soldiers? If it that might explain 🙈🙈🙈
Us Northern Irish (British) is laughing at that lot, just to imagine that whatever it's called as I wouldn't call it an army, got geared up and prepared at the border to invade us in the 40s then again in the early 70s both times when the British Army was here in large numbers due to WW2 then the second time was during Troubles🤣

Many out of step... embarrassing...
They aren't there to do perfect marching they are there to protect a country in a event of an invasion
@@teresadownes2422 Yes but as they Irish forces haven't been involved in fighting for as Long as i Care to remember how about practising some Drill in the meantime ?
Lesion hèŕìòñ 🤫😉🫡

Lmai now look up North Korean military marching
Shamefully, Ireland's military is regarded as the weakest link in the western military chain. As commited members of the EU, from which it has benefited immensely, Ireland should be forced to meet a minimum strength of military, including some level of air force and navy. Should Russia make a move on this country, it will be at the mercy of UK and other Euro/nato defence forces. Utterly shameful.
Just terrible soldiers they don’t stand a chance not s chance🙈🙈🙈🙈
lol
The art of wearing their berets looks sometimes very funny.
No marching discipline.
No proud and honour in their faces.
I was waiting for somebody is waving his hand or show his tongue to the cam
lol
Bad Boy All our soilders have great pride and our traditions are unique, but it's hard to be proud of your job when the government is completely fucking you over
@@eoghancarpenter8546 irish army is criminally underfunded
Sloppy marching
Who gives a fuck. Its a peace keeping “army” that helps victims of war
They look so unterrifying
These are west brits the UN cannon Fodder
Imagine blaming Britain for your own shit training.
Do you want Britain to pay for their equipment aswell? You bloody baby.
Just terrible solders they don’t a chance 🙈🙈🙈
I was hoping in the first minute they were all going to turn around and open fire on the damn English soccer goals. Aw well, some day... TAL...
