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.

Today's guest is Commandant Brian Cahil who is currently serving in the Irish Army and stationed in Syria as part of a UN mission. Brian is a father of two young girls and married to my cousin Sarah who is a previous guest on the show. Brian speaks to me about his experience in the Irish army with over 20 years experience working through the ranks. Brian's biggest challenge as a young 22 year was commanding troops on his first ever mission, where people of all ages, older and younger were looking to him for leadership and direction. The safety of his troops was in his hands and it was there he found that leaders are those who take action and responsibilities for their actions - while others follow and implement what is required of them. Normally on tours Brian is gone for 6 months however this tour is a 12 month stint and he found this tour the hardest, his kids are that bit older, they are more in-tune with their emotions and how to express them. What's more, Brian shares his unquestionable desire to learn and grow, as you'll hear from the books and leadership quotes he recommends in the episode. While he makes some fantastic points, he walks away with a few key points of note such as - looking in the mirror and asking yourself, are you proud of what you've done. That is his litmus test of his day and his approach to life. A wonderful friend with countless tales and unquestionable desire to learn and grow. Here are some of the links to the books and quotes he spoke about Invictus by William Ernest Henley The Mission, the men and me - Lessons from a Former Delta Force Commander - Pete Blaber "Steel My Soldiers' Hearts: Hopeless to Harcore Transformation US Army, 4th Battalion, 39th Infantry ": The Hopeless to Hardcore Transformation of U.S. Army, 4th Battalion, 39th Infantry, Vietnam.

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.

Adrian Jones was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Irish Army in 1983. As a 23 year old officer he served in the United Nations Peacekeeping Force UNIFIL in Southern Lebanon from 1987 to 1988.The Irish battalion consisted of 580 personnel which were rotated every six months, plus almost 100 others in UNIFIL headquarters and the Force Mobile Reserve. In all, 30,000 Irish soldiers served in Lebanon over 23 years.The Irish troops in Lebanon were initially intended to supervise the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces from the area after an invasion in 1978 and to prevent fighting between the Palestine Liberation Organization forces and Israel, however beginning in 1985, the Israeli army scaled back its numbers, remaining only in support of the South Lebanon Army in Southern Lebanon which was fighting the newly established Iranian proxy spinoff of the Amal movement – the Arab Shia Hezbollah.We hear about Irish officer training, the position of Irish neutrality during the Cold War. Among many subjects Adrian also talks about the challenges of his peacekeeping mission, rules of engagement and the deaths of Irish peacekeepers.

My guest on this episode is Sarah Cahill. Sarah is a mum of two amazing girls Lucy and Ellen and married to Brian a fantastic person who works in the Irish Army. Sarah epitomises the phrase entrepreneurial spirit. Having qualified as a special needs assistant, Sarah took time out to focus on her family and raise the two girls. IN doing so, Sarah found a love for play, for fun and this was made evident through the actions and mindset of her two girls. It was from their Sarah created a primal food company called Eat Like Apes, she then went on to create another company called Play Like Apes which introduces Yoga and movement to kids at a young age. Through the influence of her kids and her desire to try new things, Sarah decided to write a children's book, Elsie's Arabian Adventure. It's here we talk about anxiety in young kids, the fact that they worry quite a bit, and how we should ensure we acknowledge their feelings so they don't linger. In part 1 we set the scene with Sarah's family and background, where her inquisitive mind came from. This episode highlights the trials and tribulations of families, however, it shines a light on giving life your best shot, regardless of the situation you are in. If you at least try, you'll potentially open up doors in your life that may not have been possible.

Noel Carey, the youngest Irish Army officer who served at Jadotville, and Declan Power, former member of the Defence Forces and author of a 2005 book on Jadotville, discuss a new independent review group being set up to examine Jadotville.
In 2000, an oral history project was undertaken by Irish Life and Lore www.irishlifeandlore.com on the Battle of Jadotville. Some of the survivors of the battle were recorded for the project.

Pat Quinlan, fought in a fierce battle which lasted 6 days and nights against the Katanganese Gendarmerie forces numbering between 2/3,000 troops. Remarkably, no Irish soldier was killed.This podcast examines stage by stage the events as they unfolded, leading to a truce and a subsequent surrender.

Ian Dunican joins us today to talk about one of his favorite subjects (other than jiu-jitsu and ultra running), which is sleep. He's currently working on a PhD at the University of Western Australia (UWA) focused on the question, "Can you use sleep as a performance enhancer?" Starting off in the Irish Army as an infantryman, after five years he left the military and moved into personal training, eventually following his wife to Western Australia where he settled down and ended up working for the mining industry as a Human Performance and Health & Safety project manager. He has a Master's Degree in Mining Engineering, an MBA, and a Graduate Certificate in Adult Sleep Science from UWA. A well traveled man, Ian has lots of experience and education about sleep on this podcast, from the basics of sleep hygiene to how much sleep you need as an athlete to the difference between chronotypes such as larks and owls, how to beat jetlag and the best way to adjust to sleeping at altitude. Ian discusses the best times to schedule meetings and make decisions, the worst times to quit, and everything in between. A finisher of the Leadville Trail 100 (in 2013) and a BJJ blue belt, Ian backs up his academic knowledge with a lifetime of practical application with elite athletes, the military, and the corporate world. If you'd like to connect with Ian he's @sleep4perform on Twitter or @sleep4perform on Facebook, or you can grab his email at the end of the show. Enjoy!
