Removal of asbestos from navy ships begins
A Naval Service spokeswoman confirmed to the Irish Examiner that “a deep environmental clean” is now underway on the LÉ Ciara and LÉ Orla.
The spokeswoman said the clean-up is expected to take a number of weeks and on its completion “an independent asbestos consultancy company will carry out air monitoring and analysis” to ensure the vessels are safe to be reoccupied by navy personnel in accordance with Health and Safety Authority guidelines.
