Ms Julie Sinnamon:

We were also really struck by the pride and the passion. We were moved by that. It was very evident in all of our encounters. There is also a passion for change but certainly a pride in the Defence Forces, and people committed way beyond the call of duty in terms of their role. That came across. It was not all one-sided. We heard it randomly from across the forces. Certainly, I was really struck by the pride and passion of the people I encountered.
