Defence forces petition for medal ceremony in Haulbowline
PDForra, the group which represents the Defence Forces, has hit out at the decision to host a medal ceremony for naval personnel in Rosslare rather than their Cork base at Haulbowline.
The new Defence Forces International Operational Service Medal will be awarded to members of the Irish navy who took part in humanitarian missions in the Mediterranean
The ceremony is scheduled to take place next month in Rosslare but PDForra says they believe the families and recruits at Haulbowline should be involved in the event
Mark Keane of PDForra told RedFM News that they're appealing to the Minister to re-locate the ceremony to Cork.
