Anyone got details of the visit of the Royal Norwegian yacth to Dun Laoghaire later this week? When is it due to dock,will there be an escort and gun salute and naval guard of honour?

The Royal Yacht “Norge” will berth at the East Pier Berth, Dun Laoghaire on the afternoon of Sunday 17th. September. Please note the Royal Yacht “Norge” is closed to the public. The vessel departs 0800hrs the following morning, Monday 18th.

And no doubt will be taking in the Ryder Cup while here
No doubt will make for some good pictures though

Sure where would you get the time to take pictures

Sunday is a day of rest for those in Mon-Fri jobs, when I last checked...

Great looking ship saw in in Dunlaoghaire yesterday with Eithne anchored off scotsman bay
Both ships are in Dublin port tonight then heading out to sea tomorrow
heading for Cork I believe
{Mod edit. Thats a capital C for the real capital}
Visiting ships always fly the flag of the Country they are visiting from the Highest mast when in that countries Port. Their own flag is flown from the Stern.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
Now time for my question: when a foreign naval vessel docks in an Irish port, is there any kind of etiquette for the Irish navy to follow, i.e. greeting them or are the visitors more or less left to their own devices and treated as basically a civilian visitor?
Also, this River class PV has been a very frequent visitor to Dublin over the last few years, it'll be interesting to see if it is evaluated by the NS. The lease method used by the royal navy to get them might make the seperate, outright purchase of a blue/green vessel an easier proposition for the department of finance to take.
