    • • An Roinn Cosanta ~ ) ~ Department of Defence I ( Statement by the Minister with Responsibility for Defence, Mr. Paul Kehoe T.D., on the Motion before Dail Eireann seeking approval for the Report to Dail Eireann regarding service by the Defence Forces with the United Nations in 2015 March 2017 Chairman, Members, I am pleased to report to the Committee on Irish Defence Forces participation in United Nations missions in 2015. The report for 2015 was laid before Dail Eireann on 21 September 2016. The following Motion has been placed on the Order Paper for Dail Eireann: "That Dail Eireann approves the report by the Minister for Defence regarding service by the Defence Forces with the United Nations in 2015, copies of which were laid before Dail Eireann on 21 September 2016, in accordance with Section 13 of the Defence (Amendment) Act, 2006". In commending the motion, I will shortly outline some of the key aspects of Ireland's involvement with the UN over the past couple of years. A central tenet of Irish foreign policy is support for the multilateral system of collective security represented by the United Nations. In this regard, Ireland has worked to uphold the primary role of the Security Council in the maintenance of international peace and security. Ireland reaffirmed this commitment in the Government's most recent White Paper on Defence, published in August 2015. The White Paper on Defence sets out the policy framework for the Defence Organisation until 2025 and beyond. 2 Ireland's commitment to the United Nations has found expression in its longstanding tradition of participation in UN peacekeeping operations.

  • EUTM Somalia)
    COMMON SECURITY AND DEFENCE POLICY EU military mission to contribute to the training of the Somali Security Forces (EUTM Somalia) Updated: January 2013 On the 7 April 2010, the EU launched a Military Training Mission in Somalia (EUTM Somalia) in order to contribute to strengthening the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the institutions of Somalia. This support continues to take place within the framework of the EU's comprehensive engagement in Somalia, with a view to responding to the priority needs of the Somali people, its new government and stabilizing Somalia. Since then, EUTM Somalia has contributed to the training of approximately 3,000 Somali soldiers in four different intakes, with a focus on the training of Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs), Junior Officers, specialists and trainers. Training has been provided in Uganda due to the political and security situation in Somalia, in close collaboration with the Ugandan Defence Forces. EUTM Somalia has become well known and highly respected by the International Community, and has established enduring cooperation with all the stakeholders and key players in the region. On 22 January 2013, the Council adopted a decision extending the mandate of EUTM Somalia until March 2015. The Council also appointed Brigadier General Gerald Aherne, (Ireland) as the new Mission Commander from 1 February 2013. He succeeds Colonel Michael Beary (Ireland). The new EUTM Somalia mandate implies a significant change of focus of the mission from Uganda to Somalia. Residual training activities in Uganda will focus on the training of commanders up to battalion and company level and specialists of the Somali National Armed Forces in the areas of military police, civilian-military cooperation, intelligence and combat engineering.
