Irish Naval Service

The Irish Naval Service is recruiting. Take this opportunity to visit LÉ Aoibheann at ‘European Days to Play’ and find out about options and pathways to a career in the Naval Service.

The L.É. Aoibheann is an Inshore Patrol Vessel acquired by the Irish Naval Service from the Royal New Zealand Navy in 2023. She was previously named HMNZS ROTOITI.

Captained by Cork woman, Lieutenant Commander, Aisling O’Flynn, the ship is 55 meters in length with a top speed 25 knots which allows the ship to patrol within Irelands Exclusive Economic Zone. The ship carries a permanent crew of 4 personnel with the ability to embark a further 12 personnel. The L.É. Aoibheann was commissioned into state service by the then Tánaiste and Minister for Defence Micheal Martin.

The ship will be open to the public for tours on Friday and Saturday. Times are to be confirmed but it is likely that there will be a morning and afternoon tour.
