I agree wholeheartedly with Deputy Burke. A year has elapsed since the criminal courts authorised the release of the MV Matthew. That was done on 2 December 2024, so we are almost at the first anniversary. However, the Revenue Commissioners have informed me that they have been engaged robustly with the market through an international shipping broker and are actively looking to dispose of the vessel. I imagine, given the size of the vessel, that there will not be a huge market for it. It is proving problematic to dispose of it. However, Revenue did not have the authority to engage in this process before 2 December last year. It is engaged in it now.
