It’s not Dad’s Army ... but it’s close

TWO Irish corporals going to Kosovo next week on a peacekeeping tour won’t have far to go if they’re feeling homesick.

Brothers Trevor and Brian McGahern, and their dad, Sgt Liam McGahern, will be leaving their native Fermoy in Cork on Wednesday for a six-month tour together. They haven’t lived under the same roof for years and it’s the first time all three will be on the same mission.

“We usually pass one another on trips to the Lebanon,” said 47-year-old father Liam. “I’ve been on nine trips to the Lebanon in the past. Trevor and Brian have their own homes so it’ll be strange being on a mission together.
