      I kind of exist because of Lebanon. My dad was out there with the UN in 1987. He came home in November/December of ’87. Why do I know? Because I was born in August ’88.

      There was a lebanese restaurant in athlone that was set up by a lebanese fella who was inspired to move to Ireland because of the good relations he had with Irish Peacekeepers…. or so the town legend goes.

      I often think that the respect our lads have for their peacekeeping will be undone the closer we get to nato and the americans, I don’t think we should be defenseless but to be a country with a strong army that could be deployed around the world with respect would be a great thing.

      In case people weren’t aware, more Irish soldiers have died on peacekeeping missions in Lebanon than any other country.

      We have long and strong ties with these people.

      I’m not a subscriber to the view that ìf UNIFIL leaves it signals all hope is lost.

      Army is safe /s

      Wait til he finds out the soldiers only signed up to the peacekeeping tour because they thought they were helping the Lesbians.

      Could be bullshit but there’s a good story about when Conor Cruise O’Brien visited Irish troops in Lebanon.

      The Cruiser was plagued by kids milling around and told them “imshi!” (go away)…

      One little fella pipes up in response in a Dublin accent “imshi me bollix”.

      Ireland’s participation in UNIFIL, while commendable for its dedication to peacekeeping, has been largely symbolic and constrained by the realities on the ground. Despite the presence of Irish troops, Hezbollah continues to operate with significant influence in southern Lebanon, limiting the effectiveness of peacekeeping efforts. The Irish Defence Forces, like other UNIFIL contingents, are bound by a mandate that restricts them to monitoring and reporting rather than actively engaging in conflict resolution or militia disarmament. As a result, Ireland’s role in UNIFIL has been criticized as tokenistic, with limited impact on reducing tensions or enforcing a lasting peace between Hezbollah and Israel.
