Three members of the Irish Defence Forces will be deployed to Sierra Leone to reinforce to ramp up the international relief effort in Sierra Leone, the government said Wednesday.
The three personnel, all of whom have vast collective experience in West Africa, will be deployed to the Irish embassy in Sierra Leone's capital Freetown to respond to international crises, Xinhua reported citing the statement.
As one of a small number of countries with an embassy in Freetown, Ireland has been very active in working with its local and international partners to fight the Ebola epidemic and the Defence Forces deployment will bring key technical skills which will enhance the mission's ability to respond, according to the statement.
