The Irish Mirror has been given exclusive behind the scenes access at Camp Shamrock – and the massive operation that keeps the Irish United Nations base running 24 hours a day.
The sprawling camp is home to almost 600 soldiers – including 338 from Ireland – and personnel are constantly working to make sure the site and the troops’ mission to keep the peace run as smoothly as possible.
We were yesterday given a tour of the camp, officially known as UNP 24-5, to see a constant hive of activity at the base – close to the border between Lebanon and Israel.
