This morning.

The MV Alta, shipwrecked off the Cork coast 12 months ago…

…the Receiver of Wreck has confirmed that the period of time to claim the vessel – one year and a day – has expired.

Despite contact being made by an individual claiming to act on behalf of the owner in the days that followed her grounding, no valid claim of ownership has been received.

The Receiver of Wreck is consulting with the National Museum, which has 30 days to decide whether or not the wreck has any value – historic, archaeological or artistic.

It the National Museum decides the vessel or any part of her has no worth, the State becomes entitled to the unclaimed wreck.

What happens next to the MV Alta will then be a matter for Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan.

Recycle so.

This morning.

Merrion Street, Dublin 2.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin arrives at government buildings for a cabinet meeting.

Meanwhile…

A Fianna Fáil cumann in a minister’s constituency (junior minister Thomas Byrne) is calling for the replacement of leader Micheál Martin.

In a letter seen by Independent.ie, his departure is demanded by the entire officer board of the party cumann in Slane, Co Meath.

Mr Martin, who took over the party a decade ago, is said to have presided over its becoming a “laughing stock” on occasion.

“We need someone with fire in his/her belly,” said the signatories in an open letter-email to all Fianna Fáil TDs and some of the party’s senators.

Downing Street is trying to set up a charity that could cover the costs of the refurbishment of Boris Johnson’s flat

The Prime Minister now reckons that
He would like some work done on his flat
But of course there’s no way
That Johnson will pay
Instead he’ll just pass round a hat
