Pay row ship sold in Wexford

A cargo ship, which has been at the centre of a row over non-payment of its Russian crew, was sold this afternoon in New Ross.

A Greek shipping company paid €410,000 for the MV Lillian, which is docked at the Co Wexford port.

The nine Russian crew-members are owed arrears of over €70,000, which will now come out of the proceeds of the sale.
