A senior leader from the Representative Association of Commissioned Officers (RACO) has stated the Irish government needs to regain the trust of military personnel. This call to action comes as RACO holds its annual delegate conference today and Wednesday. The conference is taking place in Trim, Co Meath. The group’s comments suggest existing concerns within the Defence Forces regarding support and recognition. Details of specific issues prompting this call for restored trust were not immediately available. The RACO conference will likely address these concerns and propose pathways for improvement in the relationship between the government and those serving in the Irish military. The location of the conference, Trim, Co Meath, highlights RACO's engagement beyond Dublin.
