    Honest question - why don't the Irish speak Gaelic rather than the language of a country many of them claim to dislike? I know English overlords attempted to stamp it out, but they did that in Wales too, and Welsh is much more commonly spoken than Gaelic.

    Just seems odd to slag people off in their language.

    Premature Voluntary Release on Payment 9.415. General instructions a. After the period during which a soldier may claim his discharge as a recruit has expired, he may terminate his Colour service before it is due to end by applying for premature voluntary release on payment. No soldier has a legal right to end his service in this way, as it is a privilege which may be withheld or deferred at any time by the Defence Council, as distinct from the normal restrictions that are imposed by para 9.416. A soldier enlisted on the Open Engagement may not apply for premature voluntary release on repayment. A soldier serving on a S Type Engagement is eligible to apply for premature voluntary release on repayment under the same conditions as a soldier serving on the Notice Engagement.

    9.416. Restrictions. Premature voluntary release on payment is not to be authorised without prior permission of the Ministry of Defence (DM(A)) for a soldier in any of the restricted categories listed in subparas a to g below. The case is not to be forwarded to the next higher authority unless it is fully supported.

    b. Soldiers who apply after having been warned for service overseas, or an emergency tour. (1). The warning for overseas service, or an emergency tour, is to be effective from a date 6 months before the move except where less than 6 months notice has been given by the higher authority concerned.
