At present there are two officially recognised ex-Defence Forces personnel organisations, namely, the Organisation of National Ex-Servicemen and -Women, or ONE, and Irish United Nations Veterans Association, or IUNVA. Various requests for assistance are received from those organisations regularly. Since those organisations have structures in place to deal with various insurance, legal and administrative matters arising, their requests can then be processed in an efficient and effective manner.
Accordingly, the organisers of the UN display have been written to and advised to affiliate with one of the existing recognised organisations so that they can avail themselves of the structures that are in place to deal with such requests. Their submission could then be examined in that context.
