The United Nations Training School Ireland (UNTSI)
UNTSI (United Nations Training School Ireland) The establishment of a UN Training School was a natural consequence of our involvement with peacekeeping activities and UN Operations in particular. Defence Forces Personnel have completed 52,000 tours of duty suffering 84 casualties, 36 as a result of hostile action. The School was established, as a constituent school of The Military College in 1993 and opened its doors in its new building in May 1995

UNTSI's primary focus is on the training and preparation of Irish Defence Forces personnel for participation in a wide range of Peace Support Operations. (PSO). We are very conscious of the changing nature and ever widening implications of modern PSOs.
