APPENDIX 2 NAVAL SERVICE FLOTILLA
LE Emer P21
|
|
|
|
|
LE Emer was built in Ireland to the basic design of the Naval Service’s first purpose built Offshore Patrol Vessel, the LE Deirdre but was modified to improve stability and speed.
LE Emer's original Bofors 40L60 gun was recently upgraded to a Bofors 40L70 improving the range and accuracy of her main armament.
Operationally, LE Emer chalked up a notable first when she undertook the first ever deployment of an Irish naval ship to resupply Irish troops serving with the United Nations troops in Lebanon in 1979. This was the first of many such deployments and the Naval Service now frequently supports Irish troops abroad. A notable operation in her history was her part in the apprehension of the Marita Anne in 1984, which stopped after warning shots were fired by Emer and which was found to be carrying a significant quantity of arms and ammunition.

LE Aoife P22
|
|
LE Aoife was built in Ireland to the Naval Service’s Deirdre design but was modified for stability and speed and was also fitted with a bow thruster to improve manoeuvrability. LE Aoife's original Bofors 40L60 gun was recently upgraded to a Bofors 40L70 improving the range and accuracy of her main armament. Among many notable operational successes in her history, LE Aoife played a major role in the location of the flight recorder of the Air India plane which crashed off the Irish coast after a bombing in 1985.

LE Aisling's original Bofors 40L60 gun was recently upgraded to a Bofors 40L70 improving the range and accuracy of her main armament.
A notable operation in her history was her part, in conjunction with the LE Emer, in the apprehension of the Marita Anne in 1984, which stopped after warning shots were fired and which was found to be carrying a significant quantity of arms and ammunition.
Another notable, though sad, duty conducted by Aisling was her part in the recovery mission following the Air India bombing in 1985 off the Irish coast. LE Aisling coordinated the search and recovered 38 bodies before handing the continuing search over to her sister ships which had by then arrived on-scene.

LE Eithne – P31
|
|
LE Eithne was built in Ireland as a Helicopter Patrol Vessel. The equipment fit was to a very high standard and included the Naval Services first Ops Room, which integrated control of armament and aircraft to a designated centre, remote from the bridge. Her main armament is a Bofors 57mm anti-aircraft gun with a LIOD fire control system. Secondary armament is provided by two 20mm Rheinmetals. Eithne is also equipped with the DAO5 Air Surveillance Radar.
In the summer of 1986 Eithne scored a notable first, by becoming the first Irish Naval Service ship to cross the Atlantic, when she sailed to the United States, visiting Hamilton, New York and Boston.

LE Orla P41
|
|
LE Orla was formerly the HMS Swift, patrolling the waters of Hong Kong. She was purchased by the State in 1988. The primary armament is a 76mm OTO Melara compact gun and Radamec electro optical fire control system. LE Orla is a high-speed vessel, designed to move rapidly about the patrol area and to bring her considerable firepower to bear where necessary.
LE Orla scored a notable operational success in 1993 when she conducted the biggest drug seizure in the history of the State at that time, with her interception and boarding at sea of the 65 ft ketch, Brime.

LE Roisin P51
|
|
LE Roisin was built in Appledore Shipyards in the UK for the Naval Service and Naval Service engineers stood by her construction at all stages. She was built to a design that optimises her patrol performance in Irish waters, which are among the roughest in the world, year round. For that reason a greater length overall (78.8m) was chosen, giving her a long, sleek appearance and allowing the opportunity to improve the conditions onboard for her crew. Facilities onboard include more private accommodation, a gymnasium and changing/ storage areas for boarding teams.
LE Roisin's main armament is a 76mm OTO Melara compact gun and Radamec fire control system, which is tied in to the integrated bridge system. She also has a highly automated engine room. Her twin Wartsila diesels give her efficient patrolling ability with good speed performance when required.

LE Niamh P52
|
|
LE Niamh was built in Appledore Shipyards in the UK for the Naval Service. She is an improved version of her sister ship, LE Roisin and Naval Service Naval Service engineers stood by her construction at all stages.
She is built to the successful Roisin design that optimises her patrol performance in Irish waters, which are among the roughest in the world, year round. For that reason a greater length overall (78.8m) was chosen, giving her a long, sleek appearance.
Her main armament is a 76mm OTO Melara compact gun and Radamec fire control system, which is tied in to the integrated bridge system. She also has a highly automated engine room. Her twin Wartsila diesels give her efficient patrolling ability with good speed performance when required.
One of LE Niamh's most notable episodes was her trip to Asia in 2002, which was the first ever visit by an Irish Naval Service Vessel to that part of the world and included official visits to China, Japan, Korea and Malaysia, together with a refuelling stop in India and a UN resupply visit to Irish troops based in Eritrea. She also recently supported the first ever deployment of Irish troops to Liberia, in West Africa and provided transport and logistical support to the contingent that conducted reconnaissance of the port and territory prior to the arrival of the main body.

APPENDIX 3 Programme Logic Model
The Programme Logic Model maps out the shape and logical linkages of a programme. It provides a systematic and visual way to present and share understanding of the cause-effect relationships between inputs, activities, outputs and outcomes (results and impacts). The Programme Logic Model is used in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of programmes. Adoption of this approach should enable programmes to be analysed in terms of inputs, activities or processes, outputs, and outcomes that are arranged to achieve specific strategic objectives. The Programme Logic Model is also sometimes referred to as the “Input-Output Model”.
Programme Logic Model22
Basic definitions of the elements of the programme logic model are summarised below.
Strategic Objectives - Describe the desired outcome at the end of the strategy period. The objectives should ideally be described in both qualitative and quantitative terms.
Inputs - There are many inputs to programmes – physical inputs like buildings and equipment, data inputs like information flows, human inputs (grades of staff) and systems inputs like procedures. The financial input is the budget made available to the programme. Inputs are sometimes referred to as resources.
Activities - Activities, also called processes, are the actions that transform inputs into outputs. Activities are collections of tasks and work-steps performed to produce the outputs of a programme.
Outputs - The outputs are what are produced by a programme. They may be goods or services.
Outcomes – These are the wider effects of the programme, from a sectoral or national perspective, in the medium to long term. They include the medium to long term effects on the targeted beneficiaries.
