125 IRISH TROOPS returned to Dublin Airport last night after a six-month deployment in Syria.
The troops were screened for symptoms and had their temperature taken upon arrival into the country. They landed in Dublin at 11.35pm last night.
They had been deployed to the Syrian capital of Damascus for six months.
The 61st infantry group were brought to their home barracks and have entered a 14-day period of self-isolation.
Most of the troops came from the 12th infantry battalion based in a barracks in Limerick.
