Buyer for MV Matthew found - but inaction by officials in Panama is slowing the sale down
A BUYER HAS come forward to purchase the drugs trafficking bulk carrier MV Matthew but a delay by officials in Panama is preventing the sale of the ship, The Journal has learned. The MV Matthew was seized in a spectacular military and law enforcement operation off the coast of Waterford in September 2023. It was the platform international organised crime groups were using to ship €157m worth of cocaine to Ireland. She has been berthed in Cork Harbour since – as revealed by this news website the bill for her upkeep has cost the State millions of euro . Revenue Customs control the vessel and they have been working to find a way to sell off the ship to a buyer since the Special Criminal Court cleared the way in December, 2024 . The Journal has learned that Revenue Customs has been moving forward with the efforts to dispose of the vessel. A buyer has come forward and is willing to buy the ship but Panama officials must agree to issue licences to allow the ship go back to sea. The Matthew sailed under a so-called flag of convenience – this is where the ship's owner has her registered in a location which has less restrictive regulations. Also it gives some distance from the owners, particularly in the case of the MV Matthew. For instance the MV Matthew while registered under the flag of the Panama in Central America was owned by a company Matthew Maritime which had an address in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific – this was done to avoid questions about the real owners of the vessel. It is believed by law enforcement sources that the Matthew was in fact owned by organised criminals in Dubai and the Middle East linked to Hezbollah and Iranian fundraisers. Advertisement Sources said that the State is anxious to get rid of the hulk berthed generally at Marino Point near the town of Cobh. It is costing the State hundreds of thousands of euros to maintain and to move to free up its berth for deliveries. An agency crew have been put onboard the ship also to maintain it. A generator running on deck has also prompted complaints from residents nearby. The presence of the detained bulk carrier in Cork Harbour has also caused significant problems for the Port of Cork Company (POCC) which has told Revenue that it is causing 'operational problems'. Sources have said that the MV Matthew could be worth between three and four million euros. The price has dropped somewhat since her detention due to the ship losing certain certificates. Correspondence obtained by The Journal detail an added risk exposure due to a potential lack of insurance as the ship has lost its 'class' classification. This status is issued to a ship which ensures that it meets certain marine standards, in turn it then allows marine insurance to foot the bill if anything goes wrong. Sources have said that a problem of no insurance on a ship that size could cause significant issues for POCC. This is understood to be the root of the problems with Panama officials. A statement from Revenue Customs confirmed they have found a buyer for the ship. 'Revenue has consistently stated its intention to dispose of the vessel as soon as the legal position allowed. On 2 December 2024 the Special Criminal Court authorised the release of the MV Matthew, thereby facilitating its disposal. A preferred bidder has been identified,' a spokesperson said. 'Revenue is engaging with the Panamanian authorities to ensure compliance with maritime legislation and regulations that govern the disposal of the MV Matthew and has received confirmation from them that it is receiving attention, and Revenue hopes to have these matters finalised shortly. 'As you will appreciate, Revenue is required to ensure that all regulations and legal obligations are fully complied with throughout the disposal and removal process,' Revenue Customs added.

Dad-of-five crashed car into mum and daughter and assaulted Garda in rampage
Owen Orr, who has 31 previous convictions, punched a fellow motorist in the face, assaulted a Garda, damaged his motorbike and crashed his car into a mother and daughter A man who was described as having a very high IQ but who is a 'Jekyll and Hyde' character after drinking alcohol has appeared in court after going on a rampage in Co Donegal. Owen Orr committed a series of offences on St Valentine's Day in 2019 leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. The father-of-five punched a fellow motorist in the face, assaulted a Garda, damaged his motorbike and crashed his car into a mother and daughter. Orr, who has 31 previous convictions, appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court where he pleaded guilty to a range of offences which all occurred on the same evening. The 32-year-old is charged that, at Cullion Road, Letterkenny, he assaulted Garda Michael Kilcoyne, a peace officer, acting in the course of his duty. The charge is contrary to Section 19 (3) of the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act, 1994, as amended by Section 185 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2006. Owen Orr at Letterkenny Circuit Court. Photo: North West Newspix Today's News in 90 Seconds - July 17th He is also charged that he did without lawful excuse damage property, to wit, a Garda Honda motorcycle, belonging to the Chief Superintendent, An Garda Siochana. The charge is contrary to Section 2 (1) of the Criminal Damage Act, 1991. Orr is charged with the unlawful interference with a mechanically propelled vehicle, the property of Charles Bonner, while such vehicle was stationary at Manorcunningham by removing the key from the ignition. The charge is contrary to Section 113 or the Road Traffic Act, 1961, as amended by Section 6 of the Road Traffic Act, 1968 and Section 18 of the Road Traffic Act, 2006. He is also charged with dangerous driving on the N13 on February 14th, 2019 He is further charged that, at Dromore, Letterkenny, on February 14, 2019, that he did without lawful excuse damage property, to wit, a Toyota Corolla belonging to Kathleen Birch intending to damage such property or being reckless as to whether such property would be damaged. The charge is contrary to Section 2 (1) of the Criminal Damage Act, 1991. He is also charged with failing to report an accident when injury was caused to property or a person at Dromore Lower on February 14th, 2019 being the driver of a vehicle involved in the accident. Owen Orr at Letterkenny Circuit Court. Photo: North West Newspix Other charges were also taken into account by the court. Prosecutor for the State, Ms Fiona Crawford, BL, along with Garda Daire Sheridan outlined the series of events on the day which led to Orr's arrest. He told how another motorist, Charles Bonner, was driving on the dual carriageway into Letterkenny when he saw another car overtaking a series of other vehicles before pulling in front of him. Mr Bonner flashed his lights at the car but the other driver, now known to be Owen Orr, slammed on his brakes forcing the other driver to brake. Mr Bonner stopped and the driver of the other car came over, punched him in the nose, pulled the keys out of his jeep and then threw them into a hedge and drove off with the entire incident being captured on dashcam. At Dromore Lower, some kilometres down the road, Mrs Kathleen Birch and her daughter were traveling towards Letterkenny down Lurgybrack when a car pulled out and smashed into them. Mrs Birch suffered pain in her back and legs and feared her car was going to go on fire as other motorists came to her aid. The driver of the other car fled on foot but left his wallet with bank cards and identification at the scene. Garda motorcyclist Michael Kilcoyne arrived at the scene of the accident and went in search of the driver of the other car and found Owen Orr walking at nearby Cullion Road. He addressed Orr who became aggressive and assaulted the Garda by grabbing him by the neck causing his motorbike to fall to the ground. A scuffle broke out and Orr lashed out at the arresting officer by kicking him before he was taken to Letterkenny Garda Station for questioning. While in the station, Orr refused to give either a blood or urine sample to a registered nurse. The accused man was interviewed four days later when sober and the court was told he was very apologetic about the incident. Barrister for Orr, Mr Ciaran Elders, BL, directed by solicitor Frank Dorrian, said his client was very cooperative during the second interview describing him as a 'Jekyll and Hyde' character when he had alcohol taken. He added that he finds himself in a better place today and has been sober since 2023 after two periods in rehabilitation apart from a small lapse. The accused man had a total of €2,000 in compensation to offer including a sum to replace the €500 key for Mr Bonner's jeep, another €750 for the damage to his glasses and €750 to be given to a charity of Garda Kilcoyne's choice. A further €500 was also available to Mrs Birch while the court was also told that civil proceedings are also ongoing arising from the collision. Mr Elders added that his client was now trying to put his life back together and was a man with a high IQ with five children, the oldest of which were also academically gifted and wanted to attend college. Judge Roderick Maguire addressed the accused and asked him how his family were now keeping and how his life was now that he is trying to remain sober. Orr said that he was attending AA meetings four times a week. The reason the case has taken so long to come before the court was that Orr was involved in a very serious car accident during Covid lockdown and was seriously injured, the court was told. Mr Elders suggested to Judge Maguire that if he was considering a custodial sentence that perhaps he would consider suspending the sentence for a long period so his client could be encouraged not to engage in negative behaviour again. He added that now that it appears that Orr has been rehabilitated and has also come a long way since this incident in 2019, he was not sure how a custodial sentence could benefit Orr or society at large. He said Orr was available to undertake community service and ended by asking the court to be as lenient as possible. Judge Maguire said he will deliver his final sentence next week.
