President honours those who died in wars and on duty with UN at ceremony at Collins Barracks
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said: “This year’s National Day of Commemoration is particularly poignant, I think because it comes after the sad death of Pte Seán Rooney in Lebanon. It reminds us that this isn’t just about the past, it’s also about the present.
The ceremony began when President Michael D Higgins, escorted by Defence Forces Chief of Staff, Lt General Seán Clancy, inspected a Captain’s Tri Service Guard of Honour drawn from the Army, the Naval Service, and the Air Corps under the command of Capt Joe Everett.
