Last week, the 3rd Infantry Batallion at James Stephens Barracks in Kilkenny City said farewell to Fr Dan McCarthy, who is retiring from the Defence Forces after nearly 17 years of distinguished service.

The day was marked with a parade in the barracks, where Fr Dan McCarthy received his service medal, and the troops had an opportunity to wish him all the best.
