UN Force in the Congo
Following the Security Council resolution of 14 July 1960 authorizing UN military assistance to the Republic of the Congo, soldiers from a number of nations have been sent to help restore order and calm in the country. One of the countries to send contingents to make up the new UN Force was Ireland.
Before their departure for the Congo, troops of the 32nd Infantry Battalion of Ireland are seen parading past the saluting base at the general post office in Parnell Square in Dublin.
