LÉ Deirdre (P20)

LÉ Deirdre (P20)

LÉ "Deirdre" (P20) was a ship in the Irish Naval Service. She was named after Deirdre, a tragic heroine from Irish mythology who committed suicide after her lover's murder.

"Deirdre" was built as a replacement for the sclass|Ton|minesweeper|1|ships. She was to have longer range and be a more seaworthy ship for work in the Atlantic. "Deirdre" became the prototype for the later "Emer"s.

"Deirdre" was sold at public auction for IR£190,000. She was purchased by the English yacht chartering company Seastream International for conversion into a luxury charter yacht. Speaking on the Radio a Seastram spokesman appeared pleased with their bargain as they had been prepared to bid up to IR£500,000. The auction starting price had been IR£60,000.
