Let us put ourselves in the minds of the men and women of our forces who are going. They are trained professionally and are full of bravery in their hearts and minds, but it is a different matter by the time they get to a place with different temperatures, voices, situations, all of which they cannot be aware of. They have a mammoth duty to perform and they do it with dignity, skill, professionalism and pride in the Irish Defence Forces. I have seen very young men who have gone overseas come home as men who have grown in maturity as a result of the experience they have gained.
