Mr. Ryan
The main feature of the military parade on Easter Sunday in Dublin this year was the march past of the 9th Brigade, which had served with the United Nations Force in the Republic of the Congo. As the Brigade did not include artillery or transport units, it was decided that no motor vehicles or artillery should participate in the parade.
