Codladh Sámh Seán, you have given your life serving the people of Ireland, the UN and those who yearn peace in the Lebanon. You are a proper hero in today's world, a young man, on the front line, serving his country whilst putting his own life in danger, you unfortunately paid the ultimate sacrifice. I'm sure your family, although absolutely devastated by this abhorrent event, will in time, look back with immense pride and remember how brave and courageous you were. Condolences to your fiancée, mum, your family in Dundalk and Donegal, your friends and your mourning comrades in Aiken Barracks, Dundalk.
