Funny this. The 20th Inf Battalion FCA was the original City of Dublin Bn, which then became 62 Inf Bn RDF. In 2013 with the introduction Single Force Concept this became the reserve component of the 7th Bn. The 20th Bn FCA was formed from the old Dublin Local Defence Force Battalions hence each company had its own company flash. Apparently, they came up with the 7th by adding 2nd Bn to 5th Bn on amalgamation of the two units. The 7th Bn FCA became the 65th Bn. Under Single Force Concept, the 65th was amalgamated into the 7th.
Godspeed our there brothers! “Ohhh, the blood run red, when we hit him in the head, and we kicked him in the neck till he died.” 🎶- most Irish fighting songs. 🤤
The Defence Forces are top class and top trained soldiers it’s a pity they don’t have a top Salary and a top Defence Forces budget. Never slate the soldiers slate the government for lack of funding!! When the shit hits the fan which it will never blame the Irish soldiers blame the Irish government for the poor funding of the DF.
0:51 Armored vehicle on the bottom right seems to be 'targeting' that group of 4 person at top right. ;-| - Officers? 1:56 Good example of why you keep well of the 'blast zone' behind rocket/RPG launchers and similar. - Note the operator even has their body about 60º out of the 'line of fire' of the launcher exhaust. - Is that a Carl Gustaf 8.4cm recoilless rifle?
@@patfennell6y246 Who is the "we" you are talking about, you troll. Ireland has a Defence Force, not a peace keeping force. It has a UN mandate to supply soldiers to be part of the UN peace keeping force. Huge different little boy.
You are the troll have to get your voice across no one cares about your comments so you need to grow up the we is the defense forces who so proudly gave their lives in peace keeping missions all around the world ( little boy ) well you should take a look in the mirror and see how pathetic you are 🤑
Well done lads. You are doing the city, county and country proud
Yes go on
I bloody miss that! A great unit filled to the brim with the best people you could ever have the honour to work with.

Great video !
Excellent
Soldiers refresher training courses are necessary for them to familiarize and a reminder.
the 4th battalion was the inheritors of the munster fusiliers. thats why they disbanded the regiment.
Nice one...
brilliant
Great video!,! Whats the name of the song

Great video but no where does it say that it has a reserve component
well done the 7th Battalion
One of the clips is a grenade range in North Yorkshire. Had a mate that almost blew him and the sgt up
Grenade range is in Ireland , curragh or glen. The design is probably near identical world wide
It happens in training - the EOD come and blow up any unused dangerous ordnance after the training
Great Stuff, Just need a couple of Northern Battalions now!!!😁👍🏻 Nice big Base up in Ballycastle for the Dubs for a wee Holiday!!!😂👍🏻🏄🏼♂️🍻🍦🍀🇮🇪

The Dub Battalion.
I'm not sure if I should join the army or the fire brigade. What would you suggest
british army irish guards
@@lowetastic8723 why would I join the British Army when I'm irish
@@sparton1o185 because they are better founded you get better pension and equipment plus irish guard
@@lowetastic8723 that is true but still. I am a patriot and I would rather serve my country rather then someone else's
@@sparton1o185 mate I’m Irish it’s just the same as serving your own country we are the British isles

I was in that square
Were they The Dublin Fusiliers before 1921.
The Royal Dublin Fusiliers were a regiment of the British Army, the Dublin Battalion are a Battalion of the Irish Army so I’d say probably not
Not even enough soldiers to take on Wales
That's what allies are for.
you realize they have way more soilders than just in the video right ?
they would do a job on Iceland
Go away ya Fool, couple of lads on Bicycles sent the mighty British Empire packing in 1916-22 FFS!!!😂👍🏻🇮🇪
what's the pay like?
Its easy for some idiots who are not in the irish army to make horrible comments i wonder though how long they would last in basic training 🤔
chippys
Lizard
2.27 , what and where the fuck is that, apocolyptic looking 😳
No way can you make British Army
Irish army is airsoft Basically
Our pdf is certainly not airsoft my un educated man, ask your daddy or grandad, recent history will tell you that. ☢️☣️🇨🇮🇨🇮.
@Lowe Tastic You have a limited understanding of the Irish Defence Forces
youll understand the difference when your walking up the sugarloaf with a 15 kg bagpack mate haha
Only another 20 years and they will catch up with real armys from 40 years ago.
Hi Frank, Can you name one way in which they can catch up.
@@santrif thats the problem he cant
