Military medals are bestowed in recognition of specific acts or service which can vary in significance from routine duty to bravery and valour. Irrespective of their provenance, military medals are highly valued and are regarded as representing all that is best in the field of human endeavour. They are seen as being earned and merited by the recipient and in the Defence Forces this sense of worth is enhanced by the strict conditions attaching to the awards. Medals in the Defence Forces fall into two broad categories: medals awarded by the Minister for Defence on the recommendation of the Chief of Staff and medals awarded to qualifying personnel for service overseas on Government approved missions. The first category comprises the Military Medal for Gallantry and the Distinguished Service Medal, which can be awarded for acts of bravery, gallantry, courage, leadership or devotion to duty and the Military Star, a posthumous decoration awardable to personnel killed as a direct result of hostile action. These medals may only be awarded following rigorous investigation by a board of officers appointed by the Chief of Staff. Also in this category are the Service Medal, which recognises service in the Defence Forces for a minimum fixed period and the United Nations Peacekeepers Medal, which recognises service overseas with a UN mandated mission.
  • In This Regard, You May Wish to Consider Future Integrated Capability

    In This Regard, You May Wish to Consider Future Integrated Capability

    1. Capabilities – In this regard, you may wish to consider future integrated capability development and the planning and delivery requirements to support a joint force approach in terms of new equipment, professional military education and training, maintenance and development of infrastructure, developments in military doctrine, and transformative concepts, including specialist capabilities, that prepare and support the Defence Forces for future operations. In regard to future integrated capability development and the planning, I have dealt with in the next section but to me this is all about putting the capabilities of the Defence Forces on a proper footing. Previous Governments have allowed the Defence Forces to decline due to problems with finances both nationally, European and world wide but this was most out of their hands. This is not a blame game this is now trying to do what’s best for the DF going forward. • New Equipment – In my opinion going forward the Artillery Corp should only keep Field Guns for Ceremonial occasions as we are never going to uses these in any major conflict. The Cavalry Corp also needs to lose the Scorpion Tanks and concentrate on their present personal Carriers, Signals Corp need to concentrate on hand held devices and a standard radio for the Gardai, Civil Defence, Coast Guard etc should be introduced and be able to work together in crises situations. • Maintenance and development of infrastructure – As laid out in the next section on the reserve there are so many buildings belonging to the State in many instances are listed building let’s take them over for the Reserves and with Monies for the Dept of Heritage & the EU let’s use these buildings and be proud of our country and the facilities we could have.

    CCBS Annual Talk at the John Hewitt Summer School – 27 July 2016 “How have we remembered 1916?” Catriona Crowe, Head of Special Projects at the National Archives of Ireland (Numbers in bold, highlighted text refer to Catriona Crowe’s slides, [to be on website soon].) The Decade of Centenaries lasts from 2012 to 2023, from the anniversary of the third Home Rule Bill and the Ulster Covenant to the end of the Civil War. We are now four years into it, and arguably just past the high point for a lot of people – the 1916 Rising. It seems like a good time to take stock of where we are and how it all has gone so far. In 2012 I said, “The decade of commemorations upon which we have embarked is capable of all kinds of uses, abuses, interpretations, misinterpretations, illuminations, mischiefs, sublime new understandings and ancient bad tempers.” And all of these have been in play over the last four years, but on balance we have had more sublime new understandings than ancient bad tempers. Let’s remind ourselves broadly what happened during these years: On our small island on the edge of a powerful continent, and next door to a large imperial power, we embarked in 1912 on a decade of diverse thought processes, activities and interactions, often diametrically opposed to one another, which resulted in outcomes as varied as the establishment of a modern highly defensive Unionism in the northern part of the country, the birth of a modern trade union movement, mass participation in the most murderous war yet seen in the world, the achievement of the franchise for some women, the creation of a founding myth for the southern state, involving heroism, hopelessness, high ideals and self-sacrifice, the elimination of the political party which had enjoyed overwhelming nationalist support for three decades, the creation of a new nationalist party whose roots spread in many different directions, the partition of the island into two separate states, a vicious civil war, and most importantly, the deaths of around 40,000 people, and injuries, often seriously disabling, to many more.
