Underway is an environmental assessment on the cargoship that washed up on the Cork coast over the weekend.

Cork County Council is investigating if oil or other hazards could leak into the coastal waters around Ballycotton Bay.

The ship had been adrift in the Atlantic for almost a year and a half, after its engine failed and its crew were rescued.

The Irish Examiner has more on the story here.
