The Government has been accused of "passing the buck" on the status of a shipwreck off the coast of Cork. A report by the Marine Casualty Investigation Board found the ship had drifted over 2,300 nautical miles for 496 days before being shipwrecked. "It feels like the Government is passing the buck and just hoping that this will break apart and sink into the sea." The ship had been sailing from Greece to Haiti in September 2018 when it became disabled about 2,220km south-east of Bermuda. It is believed the ship was then towed to Guyana but later hijacked a number of times.
