The Tánaiste has traveled to Lebanon to meet Irish troops and place a wreath in memory of Private Rooney and other Defence Forces troops who have died while on duty.
THE COMMANDER OF Irish soldiers in Lebanon has said Private Seán Rooney exemplified the “best traditions and values of the Defence Forces”.
Martin has traveled to Lebanon to meet Irish troops and place a wreath in memory of soldier Private Rooney and other Defence Forces troops who have died while on duty. Tpr Shane Kearney’s family issued a statement of gratitude recently for the support that they continue to receive after the 22 year old, from Killeagh in Co Cork, suffered a head injury in the attack in the village of Al-Aqbiya.
He said that soldiers “rely completely on the support of our families and our loved ones at home” so that they can carry out their work. Lt Col Murphy said the three investigations currently underway into the December attack need the time and space to conduct their work, but that he could not comment further in case it prejudiced the investigations.
