The Irish Lights Commissioners ship Granuaile is withdrawn from service.
Built in Glasgow in 1948, the 22 year old Irish Lights Commissioners vessel, Granuaile II, has been taken out of commission.
Berthed at the quays in Dublin for the last month, the gangplank is taken up for the last time as the Granuaile departs on route to Bilbao in Spain.
