Aran Islands (Galway, Ireland) former CIE ferry to be broken up

[Eire Sprinter]

Just learned of this in the last hour.
The former CIE ferry Naomh Eanna which plied the route from Galway city to the Aran Islands for many years is to be scrapped. She is currently moored in the Grand Canal Dock in Dublin and has been there for several years and until recent months in use by businesses. Sadly time is very rapidly running out to save her. For full details:

I've cross posted this to the "other ships" section of the very busy QE2 forum in the hope of the word spreading for you. As you say, not a lot of time left here though...
