Why is Lt Col Griffin included in this list? All sources say he died in a traffic accident while on leave in Ireland. https://iunva.ie/death-in-ireland-lieutenant-colonel-jack-griffin-while-on-assignment-with-eu-mil-staff-brussels/ https://www.thejournal.ie/jack-griffin-2420985-Nov2015/ https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/the-best-husband-father-brother-and-friend-hundreds-of-mourners-turn-out-to-honour-lieutenant-colonel-jack-griffin/34170196.html Can't think how he qualifies as an overseas casualty.

That entry was added in Aug 2019. I had qualified it at the time. The reason I didn't remove/question it is because, per the ref I added at the time, the entry is supported by the Defence Forces' own "overseas deployments - roll of honour" listing. To the extent that, if the Defence Forces consider Griffin to be an overseas casualty (based on their rules or conventions or norms), then that seemed reliable/authoritative enough a source to support inclusion.
