The Defence forces did us proud today.
Watching the highlights now on RTE1, great scenes.
*Edit you always have one ape, he deserves a proper hiding for that.
The fella on the phone? Appears to be the press officer. This photo has since been doing the rounds
Father Madigan from Limerick doing us proud here.
No excuse it looked terrible mate.
He was the press officer in the press area. Would you ever fuck off about appearance.

The Irish army is an absolute disgrace, I’m watching it again here now, the standard of marching is pathetic, the British army are unreal well drilled, as for that bastard caught on his phone, if that happened at Sandhurst he’d be facing a firing squad this morning
that 5 little shitboxes of planes they got for the flyover, ffs, is that the best they could muster
A sickening display of force by the partitionist army.
Lovely wreath laying ceremony at Bolands Mills earlier, albeit I shat myself when an Arab looking type strolled briskly into the crowd during the speeches with earphones in and a determined look about him. I managed to get my phone out of my pocket to capture the scene and things passed off peacefully.

Beautiful ceremony outside RCSI earlier. Nice to see alright sort Glen Hansard strolling through the streets of his beloved hometown soaking it all in. What a weekend for our capital city.
Cork desperately trying to get in on the action;
Why did they lay a wreath at Bolands Mill?
Think because it was one of the main volunteer outposts during the Rising.
Fagan is going to unload with a bit of history about it not being the actual site now.
He’s lined Bandage up the grandest here. This will be an evisceration.
