The DF Info Office recently held events to launch the An Cosantóir magazine, to both acknowledge the contributors and to take the oppor-
tunity to bring together like minded personnel from across the Defence Forces community. The first event, for the Mar/Apr edition, took
place in Ceannt NCOs Mess, DFTC, kindly facilitated by RSM (Retd) John Murray and the Veterans coffee morning which takes place on the
last Thursday of every month. We were joined by the full Houlihan clan who featured in PODF in that edition. Their family have a combined
service of 467 years and it was an honour to be joined by BQ (Retd) Larry Houlihan and RSM (Retd) Mike Houlihan. The second event, for
the June/July edition, took place in McKee Bks NCOs Mess, prior to the Army Teams event hosted by the COS. This edition focused on the
success of these teams at various international locations as well as our regular features. This launch was another great success, with all
contributors taking the opportunity to address the attendees on what contributed to their success and what being a member of their
Army team meant to them and their unit. We intend to continue with these events, and will be coming to a barracks near you over the
coming months.
