  • Commission on the Defence Forces Submission by Commander Cathal Power, Irish Naval Service
    Commission on the Defence Forces Submission by Commander Cathal Power, Irish Naval Service “What a society gets in its armed services is exactly what it asks for, no more of no less. What it asks for tends to be a reflection of what it is. When a country looks at its fighting forces it is looking in a mirror; if the mirror is a true one the face that it sees there will be its own”. Sir John Hackett The Profession of Arms The 1962 Les Knowles Lectures, Trinity College I wish to open this submission to the Commission on the Defence Forces (CoDF) with a quotation from the son of an Irish emigrant to Australia, who served in the British Military through World War II. Are the Defence Forces therefore a reflection of an apathy in Ireland to the military obligations of a State, utilised to underpin a rules-based society? Ireland has, historically, not considered that it is essential to have a robust and capable military force, especially a maritime force. The lack of coherent maritime policies and a capable naval force is a function (or mistake, depending on your viewpoint) of our history. However, it is not something that was underestimated by the British Empire when they established our Dominion status in 1921. The UK ensured that they held on to the right to use and control our waters, thus reinforcing an inward-looking mindset on the island of Ireland. This quote, I hope sets the tone for what is laid out before the Commission and the onerous task ahead of it.

  • The Development and Optimisation of a Quantitative Physical Fitness Scoring System for Use Amongst Naval Service Personnel
    Int Marit Health 2016; 67, 3: 171–178 DOI: 10.5603/IMH.2016.0032 www.intmarhealth.pl ORIGINAL PAPER Copyright © 2016 PSMTTM ISSN 1641–9251 The development and optimisation of a quantitative physical fitness scoring system for use amongst Naval Service personnel Cliodhna Sargent, Sean Lacey, Cormac Gebruers, Jim O’Mahony Cork Institute of Technology, Cork, Ireland ABSTRACT Background: A lack of research currently exists in relation to the current physical fitness testing system that is used within the Irish Naval Service, not only in relation to the tests that are used but also in relation to the scores that should be achieved in order to pass the test. As such the aim of this study was to select tests for various components of physical fitness and create a scoring system that could be used to assess individuals more comprehensively. Materials and methods: Seventy-five individuals took part in the study (71 males, 4 females). Each partici- pant completed a battery of physical tests analysing the following physical fitness components: flexibility, power, agility, strength, speed, anaerobic conditioning and aerobic conditioning. The mean score ± 0.67 and ± 1 standard deviations were used for the selection of categories. Results: A six category scoring system was produced for each component of physical fitness. Scores were assigned to each category allowing a total cumulative score and an overall percentage of the total to be calculated. The categories are as follows: Score 5, Score 10, Score 15, Score 20, Score 25, Score 30. Conclusions: A quantitative scoring system has been produced that allows comprehensive physical fitness testing to be conducted.

PREFACE It is my pleasure to present the Defence Forces Review for 2011. This year we have managed to produce a thought provoking document covering a wide range of issues which will be of interest throughout the wider Defence Community. This year, for the second time since our first publication (1993), we have revamped the presentation to complement the continued high standard of the articles in the Review. This high standard relies on the voluntary work of our contributors whom I would like to sincerely thank for their efforts. The Review could not be published without the efforts of a number of people who took on the work in addition to their normal duties. I would like to thank specifically the editor Comdt Mark Hearns, Comdt Dave O’Neill and all his staff at the Defence Forces Printing Press and Capt Rory Esler and his staff at An Cosantoir who between them ensured that the Review was assembled, printed and brought to our readership.

  • The Seven Seas Tattler Issue 4.1 – June 2020
    The Seven Seas Tattler Issue 4.1 – June 2020 Good Day members, You may have been surprised and probably impressed with Tattler's new mast head. As it is the first edition of our fourth year it was time for a change. And our extremely talented and very generous Tracy-Lee Wise gave us permission to use one of her outstanding photographs. Now all say "Thank you Tracy!" As this harrowing, visit-less and sport-less period drags on and tempers flare up on an increasingly regular basis, we all wonder about our future and in Tattler's context, the future of our fine club. A new committee was ushered in at a "virtual AGM" - Now how many of us would have thought such an event would be possible, let alone a necessity. The committee has had to bid farewell to a long standing member, our excellent ex-Treasurer, Denzil Le Roux. We thank him for his years of honest endeavour and terrific financial management and are sure that he will be around to provide advice and guidance when such is necessary. Into the breach steps another loyal servant, the (now) ex- secretary Doug Law-Brown. We are very grateful to Doug for his willingness to switch portfolios and we are sure that he will do just as good a job in the money-department. We also thank Euan Smith who will step into the secretary role and are sure that he will be successful. Fortunately we will still have Doug available in tricky situations. (And there are often many of such!).
