At least one more of the five Irish passport holders deported from Israel to Turkey will return home today.

Two of the group - who were on board the Gaza-bound boats seized by Israeli commandos on Monday - are being treated in hospital for injuries suffered during scuffles at Tel Aviv airport.

The Irish vessel the MV Rachel Corrie - with five Irish citizens on board - is still sailing towards Gaza where it expects to arrive by tomorrow morning.

Last night, up to 500 people took part in a protest march in Dublin against the Israeli action.
