6th Infantry Battalion completed a charity fundraiser last week in aid of @Vision_Irl, cycling the length of Malin to Mizen head.

The fundraiser was a great success with funds raised in excess of €600 that will go towards a worthy cause.

The international Sniper competition Ireland 2026 took place recently with teams competing from across Europe and North America.
Events such as this allow teams to gain access to education and the sharing of knowledge while also building on international relations.
