Unifil peacekeepers come home - In the service of humanity

More than 230 Irish soldiers came home yesterday after asix-month tour in South Lebanon. Those 232 Irish troops from the 114th Infantry Battalion continued a long and proud tradition of Unifil peacekeeping.

That this mission was completed by an organisation, and individuals, that has been undervalued and its members underpaid for many years speaks to something powerful and valuable — the idea of service.
