Irish troops withdrawn from base in Syria
Irish troops serving in the Golan Heights have withdrawn from their base in Syria and have moved over the border into Israeli controlled territory.
The move comes amid growing concerns about the safety of peacekeepers in the region.
Ireland's participation in the Golan Heights mission has been under review - but Defence Minister Simon Coveney says it's "likely" to continue.
Minister Coveney says the next deployment is ready for the challenges ahead - but the UN needs to keep them safe.
