On the very wet morning of June 28, in Merrion Square, Dublin, the Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel (ONE) in Ireland launched its annual Fuchsia Appeal. The official name of Óglaigh Náisiúnta na hÉireann Cuideachta faoi theorainn Ráthaíochtais translates as the Organisation of National Ex-Service Personnel (https://oneconnect.ie). It is now 67 years old and, since 2000, a limited company with charitable status that is dedicated to looking after the welfare of ex-service personnel of the Irish Defence Forces.
