LE Eithne expected to depart for Mediterranean on Saturday
The LÉ Eithne is expected to travel to the Mediterranean on Saturday to aid in the rescue of migrants.
Diplomatic requirements are being finalised with Italy and the ship should depart from Haulbowline off the Co Cork coast with a crew of 65.
Minister for Defence Simon Coveney said that the LÉ Eithne would be deployed for two months and is then expected to be replaced by another Irish ship.
He said the Irish naval involvement would last until September as the summer months are the busiest in terms of migrants seeking asylum.

The time span would suggest that if we are to maintain a constant presence for 6 months, we will need to rotate vessels through the role.
Option 'b' would be to base the vessel in Italy and rotate the crew as required.
