Irish troops in Lebanon are set to be replaced by a fresh batallion in the coming weeks.
Currently, troops based in Finner Camp in Co. Donegal, and in Athlone, are undergoing training to replace troops that have been on peacekeeping duties in Lebanon for the last six months.
Taoiseach Simon Harris says he has received assurances from the Lebanese government that the transition will be done in a safe manner.
It's estimated that there are around 350 troops currently deployed in the Lebanon.
