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.

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"
also humorously refered to as "Fools Carrying Arms" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.41.129.132 ( talk) 13:23, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
don't forget "Free Clothes Association" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.198.34.146 ( talk) 07:36, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
...nor "Fish and Chip Army". This article is very po-faced, the FCAaa was a fun outfit, a chance to get away from the parents and sink a few pints. 86.42.192.214 ( talk) 20:39, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
Sandbaggers (or Baggers for short) is the nickname PDF soldiers use for the RDF and the FCA before them. I dont know where the name came from but its in use. Most PDF soldiers never call then by the name RDF or Reserves etc but just call them the Baggers. Other nicknames where in use with the FCA, eg "Free Clothes Association". Im not sure if the RDF (or FCA) call themselves Sandbaggers or its just the PDF soldiers. Does anyone know where the name Sandbagger came from? MFIreland ( talk) 16:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
I think the emblem being used for the army in the info box is probably in either in need of considerable touching up, or else replacement with the logo of the Irish Defence Forces without a background colour. While appreciating the good intentions of the editor who uploaded it, I think its probably too amateur for use in this page. If there is a higher quality emblem with the red background for the PDF (and green for the RDF) then thse should of course be put in. But for now, for the sake of a more professional looking page, I suggest the removal of the current logo.-- 104066481 ( talk) 20:20, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
Large sections of the section on the LDF appear to be lifted verbatim from here. Without attribution or confirmation that the author has given permission for it to be released under a free licence or for use on Wikipedia. It also appears to predate ( by more than 10 years) its inclusion here. So I don't think the UL publisher sourced it from here. Unless there are other thoughts (or confirmation of source) then the copyvio material should be removed. Guliolopez ( talk) 17:18, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
