Sam McBride argues that the strength of the Irish Army is a crude barometer of how seriously the Republic takes the possibility of unity. Ireland's Defence Forces are small, underequipped and getting weaker as more and more service men and women abandon the ranks due to poor pay and conditions. But what about a united Ireland – if loyalism chose to resist it would Ireland's armed forces be able to deal with that? This is part three of a three-part series.

True story: as Ultimate Hell Week chief instructor, Ray Goggins, was climbing the stairs up to the studio for our chat, he was scoping out all of the entry and exit points, and working out the fastest escape route from the building if he were to need one. Thankfully he didn't need to make a quick escape, but as he explains, you can take the man out of the Rangers, but you can't take the Rangers out of the man. Ray served in the Irish Army for 26 years, including 17 years in the Army Ranger Wing as an operator and leader in a Tier 1 Special Operations Unit – he has been in incredibly dangerous situations, seen awful sights, and learned so much about himself and others along the way.

Composition by Fergus Kelly. "I've multi-tracked multiple pitch-shifted versions of the source sound to create a series of overlapping drones that phase and beat against each other. Shortly before starting work on this piece I had made field recordings in The National Museum of Ireland at Collins Barracks in Dublin. These consisted of various recordings of large radiators. Some were made with binaural mics placed between the two panes of the radiator to capture the drone close up, others were made by running my hand across a large upright wall mounted radiator to create resonant bell tones.  "There were rodent poison boxes nearby, hence the reference in the title, which is deliberately alliterative and lighthearted. The piece starts with the source sound at normal pitch, then gradually gets split into various versions of itself at different speeds – it becomes hydra headed, like some kind of mutating drone beast. The piece, after going through various changes, ends with a return to the source sound which is switched off, thus forming a nice full stop to the piece. "Archival sounds/archival sites: There's an interesting link between the manufacturer of the source sound and the location of the field recordings. Based in Essen, Krupps was well known as the largest maker of steel, artillery, ammunition and other armaments, and was the principal weapons manufacturer for Germany in both world wars. Collins Barracks is a former military barracks in Dublin, having housed both British Armed Forces and Irish Army garrisons through three centuries. It now houses the National Museum of Ireland (for decorative arts and history exhibits).

Spike Island is set to light up Cork Harbour on Sunday 17th July in both a celebration and commemoration of its historic past. The island celebrates its 84th birthday on July 11th, the date on which the island was officially handed from British to Irish control in 1938. Spike Island was so strategically important, it was retained in 1922 as one of the Treaty Ports following the conclusion of the War of Independence. The successful return of the island 17 years later brought 159 years of continuous occupation by the British Military to an end. In the 84 years since the handover, the island has been used as an Irish Army and Navy base, a prison from 1985 to 2004, and finally a visitor attraction which opened in 2016. Spike Island marks this momentous occasion and celebrates its Independence Day with a fireworks display and family fun night on a suitable evening as close to the date as possible. This year the event will take place Sunday, July 17th, with limited tickets on sale. Restrictions associated with the Covid-19 pandemic put a halt to the annual celebrations over the past two years, however, the hugely popular event will return this year with another spectacular fireworks display set to light up Cork Harbour. Ferry rides for Spike Island visitors Visitors will board the ferry across the world's second-largest natural harbour, enjoy a guided tour on arrival, explore the fort's amazing museums and exhibitions and walk the amazing island nature trails. On this special night, there will also be family entertainment, with performances by musicians, face painters and more. To close the night, a fireworks display will launch 1300 fireworks into the sky over Cork Harbour, one for every inmate who died on the island in its three incarnations as a prison – in the 1800s, 1921 and from 1985 to 2004. The Victorian era prison in a particular was a harsh regime and at its height, one inmate a day died on the island. They are remembered now on Ireland's historic island. Island manager John Crotty said the island is excited to welcome visitors for the island's celebratory evening and to see the new additions to what the island offers. “It has been a long three years since we last marked this momentous occasion in the island's history. On that day in 1938, Ireland grew just a little larger in size, but infinitely larger in stature. We look forward to celebrating the occasion by lighting up Cork Harbour and sharing our rich history with eager attendees”. Tickets for this event are now on sale at www.spikeislandcork.ie and early booking is advised.

On this episode of the Irish History Show we were joined by Cían Harte to discuss Irish Army deserters during the Second World War. When the Second World War began the Irish government declared neutrality. As many neutral European nations were to find out, neutrality was no guarantee to avoiding invasion. In the episode we discussed the state of the Irish Defence Forces at the outbreak of war; the massive recruitment campaigns undertaken by the state forces; the conditions and morale of soldiers; reasons for desertion; serving soldiers deserting and joining the British military and the repercussions for these deserters after the war. Cían Harte is an historian, a serving officer in the Irish Defence Forces and self-published author of works such as 'Heroes Or Traitors? Irish Deserters of WWII', 'Soldiers of Sligo' & 'The Lost Tales: Riverstown's Great War, 1914-1918' among others. https://www.cianhartehistorian.com/ Intro / Outro music “Sliabh” from Aislinn.

When he's not busy working, or training, Kealan is busy writing part of his upcoming trilogy of books or spending time with family.

These include teaching close quarter combat to military and law enforcement personnel and completing 2000 sit-ups and 90-minutes' worth of a plank in 7 hours and 15 minutes. In 2019, Kealan ran nine (separate) one hundred mile courses over nine weeks to raise money for several charities; an incredible feat of stamina that did not go unnoticed by media outlets.

The Siege of Jadotville from September 13 to 17, 1961, was a forgotten military action of the Irish UN peacekeeping forces during the Congo Crisis. It is the story of 155 soldiers of the A Company, 35th Battalion of the Irish Army who fought against an enemy that outnumbered them, for five days while kept under siege in the hostile region.
