Fit to serve abroad
It shocked me that we could be represented abroad by the FCA or, as we termed it, the Free Clothing Association.
However, I now realise that the old image of the FCA has changed, at least for some. On South Mall in Cork I saw members fall in for the Patrick's Day parade. They were in two groups, the first referred to as a 'comhlacht' or company the other An t-Ochtú Réisiment or the 8th Regiment. The first fitted the old image the lads just having a laugh but the second acted very professionally, silent and still.
