On Sunday, memorial services were held across Ireland to pay tribute to Irish soldiers who have lost their lives in conflict.
Representatives of the Diplomatic Corps and Defence Forces, Veterans' Organisations, the Judiciary, Northern Ireland representatives, as well as members of the Diplomatic Corps and Defence Forces were also present. The event was open to the public for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic. Each year, the act of national remembrance is held on the Sunday closest to 11 July, which marks the date in 1921 when a truce was reached that ended the Irish War of Independence.
