Detailed recording of the wreck and its cargo has been completed by my Department and the timbers are being protected. Archaeological analysis and related research is ongoing and a detailed report will be published by my Department on completion.

Arrangements for longer term curation and display of the vessel are a matter for the National Museum of Ireland.
