Tributes for former Defence Force members

The event, which takes place at the Curragh Camp, aims to recognise, honour, and commemorate Irish veterans. 

Around one-thousand former members are expected to attend along with the Minister for Defence Simon Coveney and the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, Lieutenant General Conor O'Boyle.

Captain Laura Keane, Spokesperson for the Defence Forces, says those who paid the ultimate sacrifice will be remembered.
