Strange that the Navy don't have many small ships to help out, like the HMS Ranger that was docked in Cork.
If HMS Ranger is in Cork I presume she's on a courtesy visit? That's one thing but to have a Royal Navy ship take part in a Coast Guard operation in Irish waters and be under the overall command of an Irish warship would probably require a load of diplomatic wrangling they didn't have time for. I'm sure the Ranger's crew would have been more than willing.
