Rathfarnham and Ballyroan Historical Society present this lecture with Martin O’Dwyer, a former officer with the Defence Forces. O'Dwyer will take us through Ireland’s peacekeeping mission in the Congo and how his neighbourhood rallied to support the family of close neighbour and friend, Commandant Pat Quinlan, Commanding Officer of the Irish troops in Jadotville.  Martin O’Dwyer served as an officer in the Defence Forces for 20 years. Following a second career in the private sector he has now returned to matters military. He currently provides a range of independent military analysis for a number of media outlets such as Tuairsic.ie, an online Irish language daily newspaper, as well as Comhar, a monthly Irish language news and literary publication. He is a regular contributor to TG4, RnaG, Raidió na Life and Irish language programmes on RTÉ. Martin grew up in a neighbourhood of many military families in Athlone. One of his earliest memories is of his father going to the Congo. The Siege of Jadotville is the largest single military engagement of Irish troops since Independence.

Very good, finally went to the top floor to dry a pint of beer and not even a peanut. It was worse than a previous Boston brewery tour to enter the workshop.

Dublin&#39;s most worth visiting attractions, there are three worth seeing: First, the Kyle Sutra, it is a national treasure of Ireland, but must listen to the voice explanation, otherwise you can&#39;t understand the preciousness of this book; The second is the library corridor, which is the location of the Harry Potter movie, and it is also very simple and distinctive; the third is the oldest harp in Ireland. In general, the tour is very exciting. The small disadvantage is that the price of Trip.com is slightly more expensive than the local fare, and the price is not very high.

Dublin Castle has some long royal history, and the attractions are very good and worth a visit. On-site tickets only sell 8 euros (60 years old and 6 euros). Trip.com over 60 years old tickets cost 160 yuan, which is 3 times the scene. Too expensive! ! ! Affected my high trust and goodwill for Trip.com ! ! !

This Catholic church in Dublin has a long history and is a landmark building in Dublin. Both the inside and the outside are very exquisitely built.

Ireland belongs to the temperate marine climate zone, so the vegetation coverage rate is very high. This green color, from south to north, from east to west, covers the island country, clear and transparent like emerald. The green of Ireland is fascinating, but the weather in Ireland is very depressing. When I came here, everyone said a joke that it rains 300 days out of 365 days in Ireland. One of my colleagues once talked about the weather in Ireland with a taxi driver. The driver said that God gave Ireland such a beautiful coat, and if he gave it good weather, it would be envied by the world.
