Kilkenny brothers Tiarnan and Caolan O’Reilly, aged 24 and 22, are preparing to travel to the region next month.
Irish soldiers about to be deployed to a peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon have said they are not afraid as they prepare to travel to a region of high tensions.
The commanding officer of the 123rd battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Mac Eoin, said his colleagues in Lebanon have described the current conditions as “tense”, but said the soldiers were “ready to go and do their job”. “So the troops are responding well, they’re in good shape, and as far as we’re concerned, there’s no change to the plan, we’re ploughing on and we’re deploying as planned.”
He described the tasks the soldiers will have, as mandated by the United Nations – to monitor, to observe, to report, and to protect civilians once deployed to the blue line. Tiarnan O’Reilly said he has been following developments “a little bit”, but his brother Caolan said they are “well trained for it”.Matt Kinnaird, who turned 20 on October 7, is the youngest member of the battalion.
