LÉ Eithne crew set for return after Med mission
A senior officer from the LÉ Niamh, which will replace her on the EU-led humanitarian mission, flew out to Malta last night to be briefed on operations by LÉ Eithne’s captain Commander Pearse O’Donnell.
He and his 68-strong crew still remain on standby in case of emergencies, but are currently anchored in Valletta harbour where the ship is taking on supplies.
