Today we said a sad goodbye to LE Eithne as the HPV departed the Naval Base for the final time. Built in Verolme in 1984, L.E. Eithne served Ireland for 38 years on missions at home and abroad prior to decommissioning as flagship.

@FanningGrace @ConorHogarty The view from our bridge passing through on a crisp winters day a few months back. Great Nav Ex for our Officers Under Training.

[L.É. Samuel Beckett @LESamBeck61]

We are already over a week into 2024! The crew of the LE SAMUEL BECKETT wish you a happy and healthy new year. 2023 was very busy for us and here is a video to give you an idea of what our last year at sea was like.

Comhghairdeas

[L.É. Samuel Beckett @LESamBeck61]

All on LÉ Samuel Beckett are deeply saddened at the sudden passing of our fellow sailor and friend L/S Conor Kiely of the LÉ Roísín. Many of our crew have spent countless days at sea with Conor and we all send our deepest sympathies to Conor's family and friends. Rest in Peace.

Fleet Operation Readiness Standards Training (F.O.R.S.T) Put the crew through their paces this week assessing us in all elements of how we operate at sea. This ensures we are ready to face whatever lies over the horizon in the future

MV MATTHEW was detained as part of a JTF on Narcotics Interdiction operation, comprising of the Navy, @gardainfo & @RevenueIE. This multiagency interdiction was conducted with close coordination & cooperation of @IrishAirCorps assets & Ireland's SOF #ARW.

[Óglaigh na hÉireann @defenceforces]

"This Joint & multiagency Op demonstrates the interoperability of Óglaigh na hÉireann, underlining the unique capability that we bring to the defence of the State. The significant intel led planning by the JTF enabled the coordination & execution of this complex multiagency Op.

[Irish Air Corps @IrishAirCorps]

The @IrishAirCorps played a pivotal role during the high profile joint security operation! Precision flying in tricky conditions was required to insert @defenceforces ARW operatives which resulted in the interception of a vessel carrying a substantial quantity of narcotics!👇
