The Irish government has called on Israel to allow an Irish-registered aid ship to continue its voyage to Gaza.
The "Rachel Corrie", which left Dundalk about three weeks ago, is still pressing ahead to breach the Israeli blockade.
Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Corrigan Maguire is one of five Irish people on board.
At least five Irish citizens from other ships who were detained on Sunday are expected to be deported within days.
Taoiseach Brian Cowen earlier warned of "serious consequences" if any of the Irish citizens detained in Israel were harmed, and called for their immediate and unconditional release.
