Still Ireland could have joined the rest at 12 Noon. Its the same when it comes paying respect to all the Ex Service Men who fought in WW1 & WW11. The UK has it on November 11. Ireland does it in July.

Now Ireland, does not want to commit our army to the EU Armed Forces. Such a country

140,000 Irishmen died in the trenches during WW1. Many more joined the British Army and fought in WW11.www.greatwar.ie

Still many more are joining the British Army today. Two Dublin lads were killed in Iraq last year.
