LÉ Ciara

LÉ Ciara (P42) was a Peacock-class patrol vessel in the Irish Naval Service. Like the rest of her class, she was originally designed for use by the British Royal Navy in Hong Kong waters, and was delivered in 1984 by Hall, Russell & Company as HMS Swallow (P242). The ship was passed to the Irish Naval Service in 1988 and was commissioned as LÉ Ciara by the then Taoiseach Charles Haughey on 16 January 1989. She was decommissioned, together with her sister ship Orla, in 2022.
