Free access to LÉ Aoife and buildings celebrating Cork City’s heritage

The public will have a last chance today to go aboard the LÉ Aoife in Cork, before the naval vessel is taken out of service early next year.

The opportunity for land-lubbers to see the deck and the bridge of the offshore patrol vessel — in service since being built in Cork in 1979 — is part of Cork Heritage Open Day.

It is unique among the 40 events as all the other doors being opened to the public are buildings around the city.
