Two Months After Its Sale the LE Aishling is on Sale for Six Times it Purchase Price
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
Just two months after
the LE Aishling was sold at auction for €110,000 it has been re-floated on the market with a price tag of US $750,000 or €685,000. The vessel was sold to Dutch Ship Broker Mr
Dick Van Der Kamp on just the second bid selling at a fraction of the price her sister ships fetched at auction. The LE Emer sold for €320,000 in 2013 with the LE Deirdre
going
for just over €241,000 in 2001. PDFORRA argue the government should have
set a higher reserve. With a potential loss
of €500,000 to the ex- chequer the monies could have been reinvested in Naval HQ. They say there is a cru-
cial need for investment in accommodation at the Haulbowline base, with several crew members living on board ship. A large number are
unable to afford rent- al accommodation because they are so poorly paid. Starting pay for
new recruits is almost €22,000 with many unable to afford rent- al prices of between €1,000 - €1,500 a month being asked for in Cobh and Car- rigaline.

auctioneer who sold the vessel on behalf of the Department of Defence said there would have been sub- stantial investment in preparing the ship for resale, which could
run to hundreds of thou- sands. Generally vessels such
as the LE Aishling would not have paperwork as they are in the direct em- ployment of the state. Not alone
are there
towing costs involved but paper work would have to be sought as well as insur- ance.
When we asked Mr
Van Der Kamp after the auction of the 36 year old patrol vessel in March if he believed he had purchased a bargain he said the market was “de- pressed” due to a glut of ships built in 2006 when the industry was at
its
height. “Sometimes I buy ships
and I think this is a bar- gain, but it wasn’t. It’s a gamble” he told the East Cork Journal at
the
time. It now appears that
gamble may have paid off with the Irish Navy’s most famous ship now being offered to the mar- ket for six times its cost.
