The Minister for Defence, Mr. Tony Killeen, T.D., accompanied by the Defence Forces, Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Sean McCann, was at Dublin Port on Monday to observe the arrival of the ship carrying the Defence Forces assets and equipment involved in the MINURCAT mission in Chad.

The Irish contingent deployed with MINURCAT was withdrawn in May 2010 and the recovery of equipment and assets commenced straight away, culminating with the arrival by ship into Dublin and the subsequent transfer of equipment to the Defence Forces Training Centre in the Curragh Camp.
