Indonesian sailors stranded on a trawler in Dún Laoghaire Harbour since early March, as Afloat reported, are on their way home after their repatriation terms were agreed.
The 14 sailors left the Magan D shortly before 8am and were accompanied to Dublin Airport by a garda escort.
The Spanish-owned British registered trawler was towed into Dún Laoghaire three weeks ago after drifting for several days in the Irish Sea because of engine failure.
It was detained by the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency
The Indonesian crew had been working on the ship since July last year but had not been paid since January.
