    Last week, on the Hill of Allen, the ancestral home of the Fianna, the soldiers of the Army Ranger Wing’s Special Operations Force Qualification Course received their much-coveted Green Berets. A proud day for the soldiers and their dedicated instructors.

    The hill is situated at the easternmost point of the Bog of Allen and it is from this hill that the bog gets its name. According to legend, Fionn mac Cumhaill had a fortress on the hill and used the surrounding flatlands as training grounds for his warriors. In 722 A.D. the Battle of Allen was fought between the Leinstermen (Laigin), led by Murchad mac Brain Mut (King of Leinster), and the forces of Fergal mac Máele Dúin (High King of Ireland) in close proximity to the hill.

      Great to be proud of your country; just as important is respectful of other nations. As for being there? If you want it enough you can be. It’s determination that will get you to where you want to be. Good luck.

      Proud to be in Ireland or the Irish Ranger Wing? No lady in the history of the State has ever been successful in her attempt to join it. But, there is always one who breaks the mould. The best of luck young lady if that is indeed your intentions.

    Ceremony at the Hill of Allen. A meeting place for the ancient Fianna. It's a pity half the hill has disappeared due quarrying by Roadstone courtesy of Kildare Co Council giving them planning permission
