HUGE 24/7 OP THAT KEEPS IRISH CAMP SHAMROCKIN'

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.
