The Naval Service’s latest vessels have been named the LÉ Aoibhinn and the LÉ Gobnait.
The two Inshore Patrol Vessels, which were bought from the New Zealand government, are currently undergoing a programme of works at the Naval Base in Haulbowline before becoming operational.
The introduction of the vessels to the naval fleet will enhance the capability of the Naval Service, both in relation to fisheries’ protection and other roles.
