I was in 🇮🇪 at the invitation of its Chief of Defence, LTG Clancy to discuss #Ireland’s ongoing cooperation with #NATO.
For the last 25 years, we have proven that neutrality does not mean isolation as we continue to work on issues that concern us all.

Yesterday, the @DF_COS Lieutenant General Seán Clancy attended a meeting in Brussels of the Partner Interoperability Advocacy Group (PIAG).
Ireland joined the other partner nations Australia, Austria, New Zealand and Switzerland, to meet NATO Chiefs of Defence. Discussions focused on current and future military interoperability opportunities. Interoperability with other militaries is essential to ensure that the Defence Forces can continue to contribute to multinational peacekeeping operations.
