Can you point me at where on the Defence Forces website it says this? I can't find it from a cursory look. I have emailed the army PR department to see if it's OK by them. Arwel 22:26, 26 Apr 2004 (UTC)

THX for checking I understand that as long as the source is acknowledged the material may be used http://www.military.ie/terms.htm

Ah, thanks for that. Yes it looks like it's OK -- I'll restore the page (and just put a more obvious statement of the source of the historical stuff, for the avoidance of future doubt!). All the best, Arwel 18:39, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Why is this at An Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil instead of Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil? Should we move Irish Defence Forces to The Irish Defence Forces? Joestynes 19:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

While Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúl might be used commonly. The Offical Name is An F.C.Á. Remember this is an encyclopedia.

Not that it matters soon this will be redirect Page to Army Reserve.

This article is breaking two important conventions:

• Use the commonly used name (not the most official one)
• Leave out the definite article.

Exactly the same discussion came up at Garda Siochana (fomerly An Garda Siochana) and it was decided to get rid of the An. Iota 15:53, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name Change.

AS An F.C.Á. No longer exists this article should be going to Army Reserve or Irish Army Reserve. this page should be retained as a reference to the Historical Force.

An F.C.Á. is the Correct name and some people incorrectly refer to it as The F.C.Á. It should stay as it is.

What do you mean by "Definate article"
