Toys help LÉ Eithne crew calm kids rescued in Med

The humanitarian mission resulted in 3,337 people being taken to safe harbour. The mission ended successfully late last week when the navy vessel returned to Haulbowline in Cork.
Lieutenant Shane Mulcahy, one of the crew aboard the LÉ Eithne, said while the welcome home was a “fantastic experience”, the time spent operating in the Mediterranean would stay with the crew for a long time.
